No mas
"It's obvious that whoever thought this up in the US authority hasn't travelled on a 14-hour flight to Australia." Australian airline spokesmanIt seems we [the U.S.] have banned standing in line to pee on commercial airliners. Maybe it's time to erase Pakistan, all the other stans, and anyplace else where al-Qaedans might be hiding. What's that? Vermont? Yes, Vermont too.

Having travelled on more than one 14hr (straight) flight to/from Australia it does seem to be a ridiculous idea. Maybe they should issue "pee" tickets and shout "next" during the flight.
I quite often used to stand at the back of the plane (not in line) during the LA-Sydney flight while everyone else slept. The plane is blacked out for a large portion of the flight and you either sleep, read (pissing off your neighbor with the light), listen to music or start to adjust to the (large) time difference by walking in circles down the back.
Maybe now they could issue sleeping tablets (2 doses) and cuff everyone to their seats.
Agreed. Enough is enough. If all the passengers were allowed to carry, none of this would be an issue. I'm not kidding.

BTW Qantas has never had a crash (watch Rain Man).
In other circles you could be making money off that pic
