From Dome we learn that Rep. Sue Myrick supports Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.)’s no-cell-phone provision as part of the House Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization. As The Politico reports:
“This is like smoking. Once we knew it was a health risk and a nuisance on airplanes, it still took us a long time to undo it,? DeFazio said. ?The words ‘cell phone’ and ‘courtesy’ no longer go together. If people aren’t self-policing on [other] transportation, they’ll be no more self-policing on airplanes.” …
Rep. Sue Myrick (R-N.C.) said she was recently stuck on a flight sitting next to a man who ignored four requests from the flight attendant to wrap up his conversation.
“Common courtesy has gone down the drain, and people don’t have the respect for others like they used to,” said Myrick. “They think they’re the only ones on the whole plane.”
So for those of you wondering what the anti-tobacco nazis would go after next, here is yet another monkey-fightin’ possibility. The Tyranny of the Proper marches on.
