I'm not familiar with the incident in which you are referring; however, I must agree with you about our rights. FAA regulations are one thing -- the plane cannot leave the jetway until all seatbelts are fastened. But in my own car! I can remember when I was a young child and knee pads and helmets weren't even invented yet (okay they were invented) and we rode our bikes, played on skates, had skate boards -- worst injury was a scrapped knee. Now if parents let their kids out with all the protective gear, the other parents think that they are delinquent in the parental duties.
I'm sure that our cars had seatbelts but they were required either. You would think that our leaders would have better things to bring before the House/Senate than whether or not a kid should wear a helmet when he rides his bike. Shouldn't some of these things just be common sense and let the parents take responsibility.
