        THERE SHOULD BE LAWS IN PLACE TO STOP AN AIR LINE FROM OVER BOOKING.

        In this day and age of modern technology/apps etc there is NO EXCUSE for overbooking. It's all about $$$ & profits.

        Being "booted" off your flight is one thing. Being bloodied and dragged screaming off your flight is another...

        Ill bet that United IS sorry. But thats a too little, too late apology. Their stock is falling, they have a PR nightmare.
