Apologies, if this thought has been mentioned earlier folks.
I just wonder what the position would have been, if the same `Over Booking` situation had happened at a NON US airport, where the Security / Police etc, might behave a little less like the Gestapo!
I like most of us, do not have all the facts regarding this incident, however it does reinforce my long held decision, to avoid any travel to & through the US if at all possible & also to avoid any US carrier at all costs.
