Back to fees. So, if all the above is true, there is nothing stopping some FBO from saying: I'm going to get that sob in the Lear. The ramp fee for him is, say, $10,000. Pay or else. Anyone can claim and put a lean on a property (even if its is an imperfect lean) and trade or mechanics leans...

91.11 Prohibition on interference with crewmembers. No person may assault, threaten, intimidate, or interfere with a crewmember in the performance of the crewmember's duties aboard an aircraft being operated. Then there are the commerce laws...

Since when can someone block an aircraft with an engine running - or even not running. Isn't there a federal law to prevent interference with any aircraft? A quick call to 911 would fix that but quick I think.
