I think most investigations of operators on that level are done by state attorneys general.



They can be, but based off the description of events higher up the thread, I could see the Feds getting involved if this is accurate.


If you buy up all the retail space in one airport, I don't imagine that triggers interstate commerce law that would allow the feds to step in.


Why wouldn't it? All but the smallest airports have an effect on interstate commerce 6 virtue of flights going to other states.


And when taco bell is on the flight that would be a factor.


You underestimate how broadly the interstate commerce clause is applied.


Probably, but I don't think anyone knows how the Supreme Court would rule on the interstate commerce clause anymore.
