Of course this is the US, land of the deluded into thinking they're free, so maybe a judge allows it.

It just means they have to define safety. Every delay has an effect on air and runway traffic, which affects the safety of a lot of people. The longer hours sitting on the runway also adds to the fatigue of the pilots and crew. That is why they don't mess around with people being disruptive to the flow of traffic at airports.
There is a lot of stuff that will need to be defined by a court in the long run.
