What are your thoughts on the following new government new passenger protection rules?

In effect as of April 29, 2010, “the Department of Transportation’s new passenger protection rules allow the government to fine airlines up to $27, 500 per passenger if passengers sit aboard a plane on the ground for more than 3 hours.  And after the two hours, airlines must provide food and water, operable toilets and medical attention if necessary.  But because airlines sometimes clear just a few hundred dollars profit for a flight, many will cancel flights rather than risk fines, predicted Darryl Jenkins, an airline industry consultant.”  Houston Chronicle April 29, 2010
