  > Why are airlines adding to every part of that stress but drawing the line at a device's BT name?
Serving alcohol: no problem!

Tacky device name: oh no! Someone might be offended and start a fight! We can't let that happen!!!!

This is so many levels of absurd and it's incredible how many people are defending crazy people. I never thought it would be contentious to claim that we should punish people for being tacky just because they might trigger people that are institutional amounts of crazy.

I mean if the real concern is that a fight might break out, well I sure know a bigger "social lubricant" than a tiny protest that most people are never ever going to see.
