Airplane courtesy. An oxymoron of the
21st century. "You wouldn't believe what people watch," said Mimi Rodriguez, a flight attendant with America West. She says it is not uncommon for people to watch pornography on board; if a passenger complains, she asks the offending party to step into the galley and tells him that his film choice is making some fellow travelers uncomfortable.
"But it's not a violation of regulations," she says. "We usually ask them to turn it off or turn the screen so it can't be seen." Most comply, she adds.
Two questions. Why would you
want to watch a porn movie on your laptop on an airplane?
And where would you rather sit? Beside a creepy bald guy watching a porn movie on his laptop, or in front of a screaming toddler kicking the back of your seat?
If you have to think about that, you should take the bus.
