How can airlines keep passengers on the plane/tarmac for hours, and it not be considered false imprisonment?

Brian asked:
Kidnapping or holding a person against their will. What if a passenger said they wanted to cancel their flight, and deplane? The airline says no they must wait.
This is a serious question- Is there a FAA rule that allows for airlines to hold passengers on a plane as long as they want? Could the passengers file a law suit claiming wrongful imprisonment?
Thank you ck- that is what I thought. When someone buys a ticket they agree to terms, and that probably is where it is allowed.
