That's not a report, it's an editorial claiming the flight in question wasn't an overbook situation. She may be right but I don't think her analysis is definitive. Dao's injuries were horrible but have no more relevance to the question of whether or not he should have complied with the deboarding than his prior convictions, drug abuse, or past sexual history -- and honestly, if he did indeed hit his face on an armrest as part of his hysterical violent resistance, his injuries were essentially self-induced. On the other hand, his past history of PTSD does help explain his behavior and lends credence to the idea that the aviation security officers did NOT cause his injuries.

3-pointer? Hardly. He DID kick a 60 yard field goal for a tort action lawyer (followed by Munoz dropping the ball behind the line and committing a safety since we're using a football analogy). Overbooking is going to continue to be an industry practice because it's an economically efficient way for the airlines to meet the continuing phenomena of no-shows. United won't call for aviation security to deplane passengers anymore but they're still going to overbook and that's still going to make people unhappy in some cases.
