Save/Share"American Airlines Now Charging Fees To Non-Passengers"
That's the headline from The Onion, a humor publication.
The one bright spot is that "American Airlines has promised never to raise its fees for not printing a boarding pass."
[To be absolutely clear: This is a spoof, a prank, a joke.]

Love it. You can always count on The Onion to convert the truth into something appropriately absurd.

Is it true that United Airlines is suing the United States government for copyright infringement? Understand they'd settle for a billion-dollar bailout!

You may be on to something, larry. Why should just anyone be allowed to use the word "United"?
My favorite thing about the article is that this quote actually sounds like it could be about the bailouts going on: "It's never an easy decision to ask our loyal customers, as well as thousands of people chosen at random out of a telephone book, to pay a little extra, but that's just the reality of today's economic climate."
