So the simple effective answer to all this is to fix airline seats in a position halfway down or so. So why can’t the FAA just make a regulation to that effect and let’s be done with this crap?
Because…
READ YOUR CONSTITUTION! NANNY STATE SOCIALISM! IT’S WHAT MY AR15 IS FOR! IS THIS AMERICA OR NAZI GERMANY!
Which can all be applied to most any new rule in America. Which hits upon the most obvious American truth. We need is less rules and more assault rifles. We need to look more to Somalia and the Congo. Or do we want to end up like Europe where kids can go and play, at night. Hey, so kids have to sleep at night in an iron bathtub, it’s in the constitution.
True Story June 2014 – It was 11pm on a flight from Chicago to Houston. Earlier 7 people in a car having to from Wisconsin to Midway in Chicago at rush hour. With a 2 year old and a 4 kyear old strapped in car seats for 5 hours hours. The girls had been strapped in on the plane for going on two more hours. I sat with them and unstrapped them and invented a paddycake kind of game to play and we laughed. A big 40ish guy across and up a row got up stood over our seats and said. “Why can’t you keep those brats quiet?” Still having my well honed adeptness in conversation with strangers I replied, “Probably for the same reason can’t keep your mouth shut.”
