American Airlines to Filter Porn on In-Flight Wi-Fi

AA said it hasn't received any complaints from passengers or flight attendants regarding people viewing inappropriate content on its trial jets, but said that filtering content was an appropriate measure to take to prevent putting its employees and customers in an uncomfortable situation.
We're all for it. The only thing worse than being stuck next to a sweaty guy too big to fit into his seat is sitting next to a guy too big to fit into his seat who is sweaty because of the contents of his browser. [From: USA Today]

Right. More censorship. BIG BROTHER in the air. Why not have all magazines and books inspected before passengers board....I mean,
just in case I might be reading a book someone objects to.....Where does it end? Nobody is coerced into staring at their neighbors laptop screen.
In fact, WHY are they looking at it anyhow? I disagree. I don;t need the airlines (or the government) telling me what I can or can't view, read or say. That's how things are done in totalitarian societies. Or doesn't ANYONE care about RIGHTS?

It's funny that they are censoring the WiFi onboard the plane but will not remove the same type of materials from the concourse gift shops.
But yes, it makes sense to block that as people should have enough self control to not view such material in an enclosed space such as an airplane.
