Wow head, that's quite obnixous of you. I guess you taught them a lesson...

p.s. - If it's so personal, then you shouldn't be doing it in public. You are inviting people to look at it.. That's just common sense..

If the cabin at 35,000ft is public, then the law applies. If it isn't a public area, then it's the private property of the airline and up to their discretion.

That's an interesting question but I think I have the answer. Kiddy porn is illegal. Very illegal for that matter.
I would think, if you own, transport, exhibit, any kiddy porn, you are breaking not just federal laws, but international laws as well. You should be arrested, thrown in jail and have the key tossed.
Charged as an accessory after the fact.

One thing to keep in mind is that during a flight what appears on your computer screen displayed as text my not be clearly visible from the isle.
But human figures on screen can be seen from a greater distance and could be observed from the isle. So this may be a situation that not only affects the person sitting next to the one who decides to watch unsavory video's but it could also affect children or others on a flight who either desides to walk the isle's for exercise or need to use the facilities.

It's human nature to look at what people are during during a flight even it it's no more than a glance. That especially is true when it comes to computer screens. With this in mind IMHO a person who subjects others to visual images that are in very very bad taste should be asked to respect the rights of others not to be subjected to what most of society regard as filth.

But just a question. How is this any different than two naked people getting it on in the seat right next to you? Would that be acceptable?

I don't think your comparison is at all reasonable, however, I believe as I said that the Airline has the right to apply 'rules' to the flight.

So you wouldn't have a problem with two naked people having sex in the seat next to you and in view of others walking by?

What's not acceptable. Seeing the screen as you walk down the isle, or the 2 people getting it on in the seat next to you.??
