Exploiting the Amtrak tragedy, airlines are gouging the public for desperately   
   needed seats, reported the NYT:   
      
   "people seeking last-minute tickets were likely to find fares of thousands of   
   dollars for flights that typically cost a few hundred.  A check of Delta Air   
   Lines fares at La Guardia Airport at 10 a.m. on Thursday found that a ticket   
   on the 12:30 p.m.    
   shuttle to Washington could be found -- for $2,309"
