[nfb-talk] {Disarmed} Federal law preempts blind flyers' claims over airport kiosks

[Michael Hingson]

There are reasons why the suit was filed in California.  No tactical error,
but we're not done yet.

More to follow.

I'm not a lawyer so someone please help me out here. If I'm reading this
ruling correctly, it looks as if our lawsuit was dismissed on a
technicality. The judge dismissed it because it is invalidated by the ACAA.
United is not responsible for accessibility of airport terminal kiosks. That
issue would fall under federal purview. If this is the case, did we not make
a tactical error in the filing? Should this not have been a federal suit?
