Airports that tell vendors not to rip travelers off.

Portland and IAD are the two that come to mind.
The food outlets are told not to charge more for ther products than they do at thir in town locations.
One fella I was chatting with felt that it was comunnist price fixing plot-that it should be a market driven matter and that a merchant should be able to charge whatever he wishes.
I countered that the buisnesses knew what they were getting into-and felt the profits would outweigh any such restrictions.
What do you as frequent travellers/consumers of these outlets think?
