Get this. Flight attendants on American Airlines flights want the airline to install filters to stop travellers from surfing for sumt while flying:
“Attendants and passengers raised “a lot of complaints,” and leaders of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants broached the issue with management, without making a formal request for filters, union spokesman David Roscow said today in an interview. He didn’t give specifics about any objections.”
Here’s the problem that I have with this. Filters don’t work. Not only do they block useful sites by accident, but they are often easily circumvented. Besides, there’s nothing stopping somebody from popping a porno into the DVD drive in their laptop and watching that. Or watching porno via a MPEG or AVI file for that matter. To my knowledge, I’ve never heard of that happening. That would imply that travellers don’t watch porn on flights. Which means it’s a non-issue in my mind.
