2) Also, not analogous arguements. I don't charge people to come into my house and then deny them access to their livlihood. And in return for certain job functions, AEBN provides me with compensation - it's an acceptable trade. In this case, I am paying for a business need - travel - and the standard for preventing someone from working, regardless of the business model under which that work is done, is not across the board. This, to my mind, constitutes a selective enforcement on job access - a banker will be able to work with his clients and access information on the financial markets, but I am unable to work with mine. This is an untenable encroachment on my ability to work that is not without bias on the part of the airlines in question.

1 -Doesn't matter that it hasn't only that it most certainly can. They say why let it happen at all? You can either use their flight service or not. You can just as easily take a train and have a private car if you wish or drive or take a boat if applicable. The point is it is THEIR privatye place of business, not yours, and thus they can set groundrules for using their services. You either accept them or use a different carrier or other mode of transportation. No one is forcing you to take a plane with that carrier.
2- The point is EVERYWHERE/EVERYONE has a set of rules of conduct on their premies and such. Freedom doen't mean anything goes and other people have rights as well.
