Wi-fi porn banned from planes
AIRLINES ARE clamping down on in-flight wi-fi services in an attempt to stop passengers downloading porn at 30,000 feet.
Flight operators had originally thought flight attendants would be able to stem the flow of porn on planes but apparently the Mistresses of the sky have been very vocal in their refusal to do so any longer.
Both American Airlines and Delta say they will censor the skies. AA said it would "implement technology to filter pornographic content over it's Gogo in-flight Internet service".
Delta said: "Blocking will be limited in scope and will be for sites that few, if any, would question are inappropriate to be viewed on an aircraft".
Privacy advocates refuse to take the issue of the mile high porn club lying down. They say blocking porn is just the first step down a KY lubricated slope. Airlines shouldn’t be able to screw with people’s civil liberties.
Other groups, like Girls Against Porn are thrilled.
The airlines aren’t going to take the risk and are both banging on at Aircell, which provides the wi-fi technology, to come up with a solution to the problem.
We wonder if Virgin airlines will adopt a similar policy, and whether the filter will apply to all passengers or just those in economy class?
Either way, it seems that for some unlucky passengers, strapping on their seatbelts just won’t be the same now that they won’t be able to watch Top Cum or Trouser Snakes on a Plane any more. µ

So is a double bed with a couple who are noisy and drunk more of a nuisance, or some guy who cannot resist porn for a few hours?

I think the guy who cannot resist porn for a few hours needs some help, and that the couple will make it into the tabloids or Dubai and work for a mobile phone company.
It's discriminatory, attractive and rich people can have sex on the toilet whereas the ugly people are even denied porn on their wifi, tsk tsk :)
Viewing pr0n is one of our basic human rights. Even more so since t'interweb came along.

Though, I am much against the idea of people viewing such materials whilst sitting in rows, and being served complimentary packets of cashews by women [and men] who wear so much make-up that they alter their own centre of gravity.

The downloading of pr0n, especially on someone else's [FREE!] connection....... now, that - I have no problem with at all. You can save the video file and the packet of cashews till later on in the hotel, when you're lonely and have emptied the mini-bar.

You can't do that with the drunk couple making the beast with two backs in the in-flight double bed.
No way... the last enjoyable thing we had left on the plane is now gone !!
" girls against porn ?" formerly known as "The omega moose" If you can't join it, try to ban it.
No matter we have ways to get around all this :) God gave us VPN :)
Like second-hand smoke, exposure to others would leave both the airline and the perv/p open to litigation. Some fetish-heads are even banking on missing the rapture, so as to avoid an embarrassing up-skirt harassment suit. However, if privacy has been sold, they had breast not throw out the baby with the bath water...
Excuse me tarts and vicars, 'rhoid cushions are only available for members of the pile high club. Count yer blessings.
