Deplorable predicament.
In 1973, Kansas AG Vern Miller threatened to prosecute airlines serving intoxicating beverages over his state. "As long as you stop, I won't be raiding the plane." Compliance audits lasted a couple years. He stormed an Amtrak train, confiscated all the liquor, threw the conductor in jail, and left the passengers stranded in Newton all night.
