GOP Rep. introduces legislation to kill airline consumer rules

[Sam3]

This has nothing to do with dishonesty and deception. If anything, this takes dishonesty and deception out of the picture. Now airlines have to quote the real price of a flight. Instead of advertising $39 to Orlando!, for example, they have to include the baggage fees, taxes and other fees in the quoted price, so now the ad would have to say $99 to Orlando

As the linked article above mentioned, passengers have been even caught off guard as they were checking in to board a flight because of fees that they were not aware of. This is what the consumer protection law covers.
