Family Seating

My airline changed our family seating and split my toddler away from us unless we paid more. Is this just legalized extortion?

I had the middle seat on a flight and the people beside me hogged the armrests the whole time. I paid for a seat—don’t I have a legal right to them?

On a recent trip the border agent asked me way too many personal questions—can I actually refuse to answer?
