No more sex on planes…………..
Two US congressmen who say that they acted after parents’ complaints about sex and violence in in-flight movies, have introduced legislation calling for airlines to create kid-friendly zones on planes to shield them from violent images.
“The airlines have chosen to put our children in a situation that I don’t feel comfortable with,” said Rep. Heath Shuler, a North Carolina Democrat.
He and Republican Rep. Walter Jones, also from North Carolina, call their proposal the “Family Friendly Flights Act.”
“This legislation will be one avenue to help parents take back their right to determine the appropriateness of the content to which their children are exposed,” Jones said in a statement.
One of the parents who complained to Rep. Shuler was Katie Kelley, who said she was on a plane last February when an R-rated movie with “a lot of nudity” was shown.
She said she was traveling without her children, ages 4 and 7, but was still bothered by the situation.
The bill calls for the creation of sections on commercial flights where there would not be any publicly viewable movie screens.
It would still allow airlines to show the movies they choose on big screens in other sections, or on individual seatback screens.
