You're getting a soda's worth of money from every person who is tricked, and some will notice the trick before it happens or hear about it. I'm guessing it's not worth the price of the machine, tech, install costs and op

What's the advantage of doing this instead of just taxing everyone and paying a salary to soldiers?

It really seems absurd because even if it was, isn't Air Canada responsible? Imagine it was a human employee who made the same mistake, surely it's still Air Canada's problem? Anyway, let's take a moment to thank Air Can

Which is also part of the argument on TFA, bringing what in part of Europe is known as "moral rights of artists".
