WEAA's Julius White has the local news.

State senator Jim Rosapepe is proposing a bill that would ban Maryland transportation authority police from removing non threatening passengers from planes at BWI airport. The measure is a response to the United Airlines incident, in which police forcibly dragged a man from his seat to accommodate airline personnel.
