I'd say the airlines have a perfect right to ban these . . .
. . for "interfering with the designed function of in-flight equipment". They can point to this incident as to how these things can cause flight diversions and delays. |

This product was discussed in the prologue to this This American Life show from about 2 years ago. During all my travels (at least 2 flights a week) from Oct 2012 until March 2014, I never saw it in use. -Mike @MikeVitale42 "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania |

putting both arms on the top of the reclined seat
putting head down on it with heehaw groans about how it helps my bad back (in the case of a guy). Same position but a hairy eyeball aimed at the chest of a female with laser like intensity usually gets my space back. Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 59 years. meep |

Was one reason I got the train when I visited.

Yet another reason I fly only when necessary
It costs more and takes more time to drive, but I'll take that over bruised or cut knees any day. I hate that airline seats recline, there just isn't room. |
