I can't think of a more BS product.

Gadget Prevents Seat From Reclining

This is the gadget that caused the recent fight on the United flight.

The airlines ought to address these things and not allow them to be used. I can't think of something more rude to do on a flight.

What do y'all think?

I travel a lot. Pretty much on a plane every Monday and every Thursday (I'm currently travelling 8 hours a week on a crappy CRJ with a 4 seat config). The plane is full of 400 lb oilfield workers way too big for the 18 inch wide seats. Here's my view.

I'm a small guy (5'6, 140lbs). But I still pay the same for my seat as a big guy. In fact, because airline costs are by weight, I'm subsidizing them while paying the same amount as they are. I'm good with that so long as I get my full seat, my full recline, and my full legspace.

If an airline allows that BS, I'd change carriers. If the airline charged by weight, perhaps I'd feel differently.

yep.

Liberals are all for "paying your fair share" and redistribution, up until it begins to cramp their lifestyle.

I don't use one but I can understand why someone would. Especially someone that is above average height. Lot cheaper to just use your knees though. Eventually the person up front gets the point.
