Hope this hasn't already been posted - Did everyone see that Justice Scalia engaged in throw away ticketing in connection with his fishing trip with our VP? People might know that Scalia flew private down to New Orleans. The WSJ reported today that Scalia didn't buy a one-way ticket back to DC because that would have resulted in an increased cost to the taxpayer compared with buying a roundtrip commericial ticket. Instead, he purchased a roundtrip New Orleans to DC ticket and only used the first half of the ticket. According to the article, Justice Scalia will not comment further on the ticket. I hope the airline doesn't confiscate his FF miles!

Welcome to Flyertalk, vault321!
This actually has been posted, here in MilesBuzz, in OMNI, and in Newstand here and here.
Since there are several ongoing threads and the issue of throwaway ticketing and the actions of Supreme Court Justices really aren't fodder for MilesBuzz, I'm going to close this thread here. Please feel free to join in one of the other conversations on the subject, though.
Thanks, and Regards,
