Senior Fellow for Aviation and Travel at the American Economic Liberties Project and former Editor at Consumer Reports Bill McGee returns to Bad Faith to weigh in on the Alaska Airlines flight whose emergency door blew off mid-flight.

And how would Bill respond to libertarian claims that too much FAA regulation is the real problem?
