Better yet—remember the old days, where they had smoking and non-smoking sections of aircraft? How about a kid and a non-kid area? Chances are, the business people who need to get something done while on a flight could justify an extra 10% surcharge for a seat in the preferred section. And not having to listen to whining is one additional benefit that the harness you picture wouldn’t do anything about.

The last international flight I was on, some kid screamed for the entire 8 hours. I was seated in the back of the plane and the baby was up front, it was one of those Airbus 380's, and the screams filled the entire plane.

How about a kid and a non-kid area?

I'm in favor of that for just about every type of public arena -- restaurants, theaters. Stores should have special hours where kids can't shop. (And whose brilliant idea was it to make the kid sized shopping carts in grocery stores? Just what I need is little Johnny ramming the back of my knees with a stupid little shopping cart.)

Don't get me wrong... I like kids... I just don't think I could eat a whole one.

Amen and AMEN! Last trip across the Atlantic was with a 4 year old who screamed the entire trip. 9 hours of hell! He was mad because they wouldn't let him run wild in the plane. People have the right to have children but have a responsibility to others. Either control them or forgo any air travel until they have left home for college!
