American Airlines lawsuit: John Cerqueira responds

By Walter Olson, Ted Frank, and David Nieporent

On Jan. 17 of last year and again on Jan. 11 of this year we ran posts discussing Cerqueira v. American Airlines, a lawsuit arising from the airline's refusal to transport a passenger following erroneous fears that he was a security risk. John Cerqueira, the plaintiff in the case, has sent and asked us to publish a response, which follows:

My name is John Cerqueira and I am the plaintiff in Cerqueira v. American Airlines. I appreciate the opportunity to share my comments. Please allow me to (1) share the text of §44902 with this blog which was used by the appeal judges to overthrow the jury verdict; (2) tell my story about the original incident and 2007 trial; (3) comment on the results of the 2008 appeal.
