Default MSNBC: Petite woman bumped from plane for hefty passenger
In article merica,

Sparing the teen embarrassment will result in her weighing about three times
as much when she's 35, just before she dies of diabetic complications and
cardiovascular disease.

Does it also give him a sex-change operation? The teen in question was
14 and *male*. It's also unclear that much of the embarrassment had
anything to do with his weight.

There are two empty seats, only one new passenger, but the woman gets
kicked out anyway so the young passenger can have both. How does that
relate to ANYTHING other than weight??
