Eleanor Roosevelt flew commercial. David Ben-Gurion flew commercial. If Swift flew commercial, it might create a few short flight delays. But VIP travel is part of what common carriers are for. A airline can minimize VIP travel by going all-coach.

If Swift flew commercial, fans would put her travel on the internet, just like Sweeney. But if she has a specific problem with Sweeney, going commercial is a better idea than trying to stop his speech acts.

As for judging Sweeney, the Musk flip-flop suggests this is a borderline case for free speech. But I’m on the free speech side of the border.
