Report: 3-hour rule creates more problems - Travel - News - msnbc.com

It is interesting to note that an 18 hour delay is the average to customers returned to the terminal by airlines who choose to cancel to avoid getting fined.

I am curious as to the origin of this rule: how did the Department of Transportation come up with this rule? Anyone know?
