Mark Benedetto Blames Delta Airlines for his own Ignorance
The Argus Leader reports
The president of the University of Sioux Falls is suing Delta Airlines over an incident last fall that ended with a night in a Queens, N.Y., jail.
Mark Benedetto was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm after a fall trip to New York City, and his lawsuit claims that Delta breached its duty to him as a customer by failing to inform him of the city’s restrictive gun laws.
The charge, which has been dropped and expunged from Benedetto’s record, came when a Delta employee reported him to law enforcement in New York.
If his complaint were that the City of New York acted in bad faith by locking him up for a night when it was clear he was just ignorant of the law, I could accept it, but blaming the airlines is not right.
He should be embarrassed about his incredible lack of knowledge, thinking he could bring a gun to New York, but rather than take responsibility for that, he's blaming the airline.
It's shabby.
