Give me a break, if the airlines weren't engaging in the the constant game playing of roulette-based ticket pricing, overbooking flights, and shuffling around unsuspecting travelers for the lowest possible compensation, this "scam" never would have arisen.

I guess it's completely irrelevant that I as a paying passenger do "not appreciate" the behavior of airlines in selling me a ticket that may not represent an actual seat for various reasons, obscenely inflating the price for a last minute ticket, concocting all kinds of cockamamie anti-consumer change restrictions, constantly cancelling and delaying flights with impunity, and in general being an uncooperative business partner? Yeah, that's irrelevant. But, one guy figures out a loophole in the rules that the airlines themselves set up and enforce, and that's cause for True Crime Accusations.... Come on....
