Also, do you let anybody do anything they want when they come to your home?? Does AEBN let you do anything you want while working? People set rules for their place of home or business every day.

1) This wouldn't have been possible via inflight wifi until very recently, and the article states it's never happened as far as anyone knows at any rate. So that's an invalid arguement to have, really. And again, I reiterate: it doesn't mean porn is inaccessible in toto, simply not via the web.
2) Also, not analogous arguements. I don't charge people to come into my house and then deny them access to their livlihood. And in return for certain job functions, AEBN provides me with compensation - it's an acceptable trade. In this case, I am paying for a business need - travel - and the standard for preventing someone from working, regardless of the business model under which that work is done, is not across the board. This, to my mind, constitutes a selective enforcement on job access - a banker will be able to work with his clients and access information on the financial markets, but I am unable to work with mine. This is an untenable encroachment on my ability to work that is not without bias on the part of the airlines in question.
