Just because a representative is discomfited on a plane doesn't mean it takes an act of Congress to prevent future encounters with boors. I have to admit, however, I love the direct allusion made to smoking.
You watch; she'll complain about intrusive government from the Obama administration, but she's part of the problem here.
