Is this a recent phenomenon? Planes have been flying around for decades.

You'd think every airport and every airline would've been infested by now.

I think as a practical matter they depend on people sleeping to survive. That's something I've rarely been able to achieve at an airport or on an airplane but a lot of people can and it seems to have gotten more common, especially with delays.
People not aware that DEET bug spray is effective in airports/airplanes/public transportation for lice/bedbugs seems to be a recent phenomenon.
Do you put on bugspray before riding public transit?
