The Senator wants to stop a federal agency staffed by non-elected individuals from regulating customers of private businesses while on private business property. Sounds like a step in the right direction to me.

In this case the "private business property" comprises huge, heavy, metal objects carrying large amounts of highly inflammable fuel that are flying through the sky at high speed over the heads and homes of millions of people.
Regulating this activity seems like a step in the right direction to me.

Low-hanging fruit. This is a non-issue that concerns no one but the Senator and her frequent-flyer peer group. I don't vote people into office for taking care of fluff issues, and I hope neither should you. Address what matters, then we can legislate on iPads in the air.

That private business property is flying in public airspace over other entities' private and public property. The federal agency is staffed according to regulations put into legislation by elected individuals.
