I don't think the fact that one's government (is it? I'm not sure) makes a
difference - the SW air one was on the basis of the ADA only applying to
real, physical spaces (which has already been countered btw although I
don't have it to hand here).
Kind regards

IANAL, but it sounds like both judges are on the same level, but in
different districts. I think this means we have two opposing precedents
in different districts, which will probably take a Supreme Court ruling
to work out.
Also, though, it sounds like one case deals with a government entity
(MARTA) and one is commercial (SWAir). I think government agencies
probably have a different standard.

I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why
don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem
solve itself?
