American Airlines Wi-Fi: Porn Police In The Skies?

Are these people for real? Apparently now we need some way for the flight attendants on a flight to monitor if there is porn playing on someone’s laptop? Do they think this is going to happen a lot? I mean… I can’t really see that you’re sitting in a jam packed airplane… and then an awesome idea pops into your head, “I SURE COULD GO FOR SOME INTERNET PORN RIGHT NOW!”

I know there are plenty of stupid people around, but this crosses the line into straight common sense. Like, most people understand it’s not OK to grab a 1980s boombox playing Hall & Oates “Private Eyes” on volume 11, strip off all of your clothes, and go run around in circles in a busy intersection. Just because “Private Eyes” is a totally bad ass song, it doesn’t mean it’s cool to rock out to it naked in the middle of the street. I think this porn-on-a-plane situation is the same thing.

And then when the lady brings up her autistic child… WTF does that have to do with anything? I guess it’s worse for an autistic child to see porn than any other child? This ridiculous topic on CNN has nothing to do with handicapped children, yet she has to throw it in there somehow. Get a life, lady.
