I'm not a lawyer but doesn't it violate the Americans with Disabilities Act if the only way you can "eat" is to drink something like ensure or soup and they don't either offer you that on the plane or let you bring it on board? If they are offering other people food, they have to give people with a swallowing disability accomodations so they can also be fed, right?

Or are we just out of luck when the ADA comes up against homeland security?
