Sorry...I couldn't resist a Snakes On A Plane Joke

Really? Word? Apparently, Association of Professional Flight Attendants has waged a mini-war against some passengers on American Airlines who just can't wait until they get into the privacy of their own homes. I'm guessing since JetBlue and Southwest have already mandated restrictions on their web access, this should be no problem for the lovely people at American. Seriously, how much damage can the passengers do with only one free hand...

Mary Schlangenstein of Bloomberg.com reports:
