New Airline Bill Would Prevent Forcible Removal, Privatize Air-Traffic Cont

A new bill that would keep airlines from forcibly removing passengers is working its way through Congress.  The proposal comes after United Airlines faced a backlash for dragging a man off an overbooked flight earlier this year.  

The bill would also privatize air-traffic control.  The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is set to vote on the bill today before passing it on to the full House and Senate.
