Of course, Jet-Blue will have to retain all of your in-flight communications for 18 months as outlined in the new data-retention law and report any 'suspicious' activity or be subject to crippling fines.A whole brave new world in the sky for us all.

How do you get to this material via Yahoo Instant Messanger? (If there is really a way, keep it to yourself because I don't really want to know.)

worthless? if you send yourself an email w/ an iframe navigating to an outside website you should still be able to view it. I can't imagine them limiting your email to plaintext only...just try and get creative and I'm sure people will figure out a way around this so they can get full access to the tubes.

If an airline had free internet I would go out of my way to book my flights with them.
