"Not here, Buster!"

Link to September 11 Los Angeles Times article, "Coffee, tea or pornography?"

Excerpt:
American is one of several airlines experimenting with Internet service. While some, such as JetBlue, are using filtering software, others, including American, are leaving it up to flight attendants to monitor. American spokesman Tim Smith explained the company's decision this way in an e-mail:

"Our policy is to provide Wi-Fi capabilities the way customers are most familiar using [them] at home, office, coffee shops and on the road -- with unfiltered connections that allow customers to get what they need, when they need it. While it does provide a new access point for information and content, customers viewing inappropriate material onboard a flight is not a new scenario for our crews who have always managed this issue with great success."

Unfortunately, the article offers no examples of how this "great success" is achieved.

And then there's this rant from an August 30 gizmodo post I stumbled upon.
