I'm pretty sure it's because they're cutting the (govt-owned/operated) airports in on the action.
- SllX 2y agoUsually local government-owned. That shouldn’t be a factor with the Feds.
- jdminhbg 2y agoI think most investigations of operators on that level are done by state attorneys general.
- SllX 2y agoThey can be, but based off the description of events higher up the thread, I could see the Feds getting involved if this is accurate.
- jldugger 2y agoIf you buy up all the retail space in one airport, I don't imagine that triggers interstate commerce law that would allow the feds to step in.
- fragmede 2y agoWhy wouldn't it? All but the smallest airports have an effect on interstate commerce 6 virtue of flights going to other states.
- jldugger 2y agoAnd when taco bell is on the flight that would be a factor.
- SllX 2y agoYou underestimate how broadly the interstate commerce clause is applied.
- jldugger 2y agoProbably, but I don't think anyone knows how the Supreme Court would rule on the interstate commerce clause anymore.
