WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- The airline industry has flatly rejected a U.S. senator's request to impose a two-drink limit on all domestic flights.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., sent letters to seven major airlines, asking they adopt a new policy to help control alcohol-induced "air rage." In the letter, she threatened congressional action if the airlines did not comply. Her idea did not fly.

Now that Di Fi's pulled off her little media stunt and the airlines have called her bluff, it'll be interesting to see if she actually goes ahead with her "threatened congressional action."

Somehow, I doubt it...
