"tush" test for obese airline passengers

Ever been on a flight where you were pancaked between two obese people? I have, and it was on a 8 hour flight to Hawaii. I feel sorry for obese people who have circumstances beyond their control. But, how does a doctor decipher whether it's beyond a patients control or not? Should an Airline have to accommodate obese passengers that have bad eating habits? I'm sure that this is a real controversial issue, and I've already learned a valuable lesson. I will never fly stand by on any trip longer than 2 hours ever again. Everything over 2 hours is first class for me. I'll pay extra so I don't have to cause a circus every time I have to use the restroom, or so I don't have to tuck my elbows into my side like a T-Rex for 8 hours.

I'm interested to find out how other professionals feel about this issue. Whether you agree with the issue or not, I think you will agree that something has to be done. If you were the CEO of an airline, how would you approach this issue? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28777115/
