I bet soon more airlines will follow. Our cars are no different either. No much options left for traveling.

I will not travel then. I refuse to be violated.

I admire your conviction. But in that case we also have to consider how your right to move about freely is being affected. If you feel like you need to choose not to travel when you want or need to travel, how will you reconcile? Do you weigh and choose the lesser evil? Seems like you just end up violated one way or another. I don't like it, not any of this.
