This reminds me of the incident a couple/three years back where director and actor Kevin Smith was not allowed to fly on a Southwest Airlines plane due to him being overweight. I really think such issues fall under America's anti-discrimination laws and even if not, more airlines should try to be more friendly to overweight customers. I mean, yes, American people should be more disciplined and careful about their weight (excluding people with health issues that cause their weight to be out of control) but the point is, overweight people are still business for airlines and they still deserve to be treated like people.

If airlines in America have such a problem with overweight people then they are certainly operating out of the wrong country since America is bar-none one of the most obese countries in the World. If they choose to do business here, then they choose to accommodate to the overweight population.
