When I fly out of Newark (a NY area airport that is actually in NJ), I often have to wait in the plane an hour or more before it takes off.

Quoted: Under the so-called "Passenger Bill of Rights," airlines would be required to provide food, water and clean toilets to passengers stuck on the ground for more than three hours. Airlines that fail to follow the new law could have to pay a fine of $1,000 per passenger for each violation.
