My concern is that the peanut ban, if it only bans airlines from serving peanut products, may create a false sense of security for allergy sufferers. Passengers may still carry peanut products, such as peanut butter granola bars, peanut butter cookies, or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on the airplane with them. So really, any meaningful ban would have to include passengers from bringing peanut products on the airplane.
Maybe the answer is to designate certain flights as peanut-free. That way, the families that just love love their PB&J can take the regular flights, and those passengers who either have peanut allergies themselves or who are willing, for the sake of others, to make conscientious choices when packing their in-flight meals and snacks can take the peanut-free flights.
