Airline Space Debate | Best BBQ Cities | Mid-Air Prank Gone Bad

Friday, June 1, 2012 Debate: Should You Be Able To Do As You Please In The Skies? Airplanes are a curious combination of public and personal space; on the one hand, we're sharing the same recycled air and close quarters with upwards of several hundred strangers, yet we also settle in for the ride, eat, take off our shoes, sleep (maybe even work in a striptease or two), adding a very personal feel to the seat we occupy for our flight time. As a result, the lines between personal and public space on a plane can blur. So, what do you think? Are planes a public space that requires a corresponding level of conduct, rightly enforced by the airline? Or is air travel a private experience, where people should be left to their own devices and choices in food and clothing while they occupy a plane?
