Breasts on a plane
November20
A woman was removed from a Delta flight for breast feeding her child and refusing to cover up with a blanket offered by the stewardess. The woman was in the next to last row, in a window seat, with her husband sitting on the aisle. Delta has apologized and the stewardess has received some undisclosed discipline. I’m not sure what disturbs me more about this: that anyone would consider breastfeeding offensive enough to kick a woman off a plane or the abuse of post-9/11 power given to airline employees to ensure safety (kind of like the patriot act being used for all sorts of things other than terrorism).
