I always wonder what happens when those things get into an accident. I mean, those console tables could cut a person in half given the right velocity...
Kids are going to scream, especially kids 3 years or younger. It's a fact of life.
Maybe it would be wonderful if everyone minded their own business, but I think it's healthy to occasionally have to deal with other people - even the nutty, annoying, or weird ones. :) I think it was unreasonable to put the mother and child off the plane, even after having ridden on a plane for nearly 5 hours with a massive upper respiratory infection and a small child kicking my seat. Children are going to be annoying ... Especially if they're scared or their ears hurt b/c of air pressure changes. I know I -wish- I could scream and cry like that sometimes!
I kinda hope the author of that article someday has to take a small child on an air plane. I've met very few who didn't fuss even a little. It's not like she's going to be able to say, "Oh, well. I can't make that emergency flight to my relative's bedside today. Maybe next week!"
