If you can't drop your shorts and flap in the wind at the airport (unless
you're lucky enough to be selected for supplemental screening), why is it
all the sudden okay to display it on a 15" LCD?

DENVER (AP) - Travelers using Denver International Airport's free Wi-Fi
service cannot visit Internet sites<http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=%22Internet+sites%22&sid=breitbart.com>that 
airport officials consider provocative.

A report in The Denver Post<http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=%22Denver+Post%22&sid=breitbart.com>says the airport is 
blocking Vanity Fair magazine's Web site, the hipster
site boingboing.net and others.

Airport spokesman Chuck Cannon says officials decided to block access to
potentially racy sites when the airport made its wireless internet service
free in November.

Cannon says the airport would rather deal with infrequent complaints about
access than handle angry parents whose children might see pornography.

Critics say the airport is using the same technology used by repressive
regimes in Sudan and Kuwait.
