Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

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).
