    Don't they have Air Marshals to deal with this sort of stuff?

    British Airways removed the scene with Richard Branson and all Virgin Airlines advertising from the the inflight version of Casino Royale. If they do it with movies they will do it with internet.

    I hope they don't use something like FireFox filter because the last time I logged onto bit-tech from a cafe PC it blocked me! ;_; Me thinks the BFGTech OC XXX or whatever speedy brand of hardware got caught in their 'no-no' list of words

    Don't see the problem - the airlines are offering the service, either as a paid extra or as an inclusive value-add to get you to fly with them. It's a commercial service and if you don't like the filtering (be it voip, adult material, high bandwidth content (e.g. P2P, streaming / downloading video), competitors' flight details, online gaming, whatever), vote with your wallet and don't use their wifi or (if you feel that strongly) fly with someone else.

    indeed.

    I see much more problems with blocking Skype to be honost. But even then, it's their fking plane, they are allowed to offer whatever service they would like to offer.

    On a sidenote:
    I think it's even the other way around: if the guy had had access to some proper porn, he wouldn't have to stare at her! :naughty:

    “staring at her as he masturbated.”


    Sounds like this guy needs the hot-coffee mod: boiling water dumped in his crotch :)

    I suppose the same type of people seeking to join the mile high club may also want access to porn.

    Blocking porn isn't the problem. The problem is the filter will be crap and will block legitimate sites (BoingBoing goes on about this) etc etc.
