Summary

United Airlines offered free flight changes for customers upset about Trump's new airport policy, representing corporate response to Trump administration action.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

No action needed; monitor only if underlying airport policy itself raises separate legal or civil rights concerns.

Why This Score

Trivial corporate customer-service story about airline policy accommodation; no constitutional mechanism, minimal governance relevance, narrow population impact.
