Is it fair that some airlines ban men from sitting next to unaccompanied minors on the grounds that they may be pedophiles?

 

Is such a rule discrimination? Does it ignore the fact that there are also women who are pedophiles/who conspire with male pedophiles? Is such a rule necessary to prevent pedophiles from befriending and kidnapping unaccompanied minors? Would such a rule be justifiable if the most reliable statistics showed that members of a certain racial group are most likely to molest kids? http://nbcnews.to/OcgTnA

Who cares? If I was on a plane and some little kid sat down next to me, and then the stewardess said I would have to move, I'd be grateful. Of all the things that anyone could spend time worrying about, this is way way way down at the bottom of the list.

How do you come up with these weird, convoluted questions all the time? You must be really bored.

I think it's unfair that they seem to think all men are pedophiles. Perhaps those airline's policy makers need some education. Though, as much as I enjoy kids, I can't say I'm really sure I'd want to sit next to one on a long flight when I'd already be pretty grouchy from not being able to smoke.

If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, then that makes me a burning truck filled with TNT hurtling through a rocket fuel depot.
