I think your last post summarizes the situation very well. The oxygen issue is one that is an issue for your doctor. If the doctor over medicates, you might consider changing doctors, but be careful. I have worked in an ER and it was not uncommon for airlines to divert due to passengers experiencing respiratory problems in the air. It was also not uncommon to find out that they were flying either against doctors orders or had failed to advise their doctor of their plans to take a flight, despite being occasional oxygen users. This is a risky thing to do.
It is a free country, but this freedom works both ways. Your husband was willing to sign away or waiver any claim against the airline, but equally the airline was not willing to risk the cost of diverting if your husband experienced respiratory distress. That is not communism as you say in your first post.. it is good sound common sense.
I think you should write, map out what happened, express you concerns about their negligence, concerns about security and then ask to be compensated for the loss of your time and your inconvenience.
Hope you get a resolution and post the outcome on there..good luck.
