I wouldn't be 100% sure... the right congress might be interested in something like this, saving another oppressed class from themselves at the expense of everyone else. What's not to love?

But what I want to know is do you have to be legitimately fat to get a free adjacent seat, or do you just have to hit a certain weight, even if you're fit? Ie, is it weight or BMI? I could sure you use some extra elbow room too.
