Was the person doing the assaulting federal law enforcement? Was he arrested? I don't think either of these are true. So, I don't think this is how any of this actually works.
- dboreham 10y agoIt turns out that airline crew have infinite powers on their own planes (well...nearly). They can actually thrown someone off a plane on a whim. Source: I saw this happen last year.
- ErikAugust 10y agoRight, you can "throw" people off a plane. But if you do so in a manner that is totally illegal, you have still broken a law in doing so. That would be my point.
- em3rgent0rdr 10y agoBut the point is the pilots have legal authority to throw people off the plane. Therefore it is tautologically legal.
- dboreham 10y agoIf they were not allowed to use force then they would in fact only have the right to "request" people leave the plane. Throwing off implies at least the option to use force.
