[RICHARD] Man Removed from Overbooked United Flight Sparks Passenger Rights Debate
The removal of a man from a United Airlines flight this week has sparked a debate about flier's rights. The man, a 69 year old Louisville doctor was bloodied up while being removed from the plane by airport security officers.

Phil, Brian and Barry air it out in this week's installment of Friday Faceoff.
