Consider this a PSA - a public service announcement for the upcoming summer vacation. or just have a good laugh.
Bechadrei reported the other day on an announcement publicized by the Rabbinic Committee for Transportation. They publicized that those people, families, who will be travelling over the summer should make sure to gear up with the special mechitza that will help prevent their having to deal with tzniyus issues, and with watching movies during the flight. The problem is especially serious on flights to Europe, as those flights have central screens (rather than personal screens) on most flights, but personal screens on flights to America are also a tzniyus problem..
They say they have distributed (sold?) 1000 mechitzos. As well, as long as it does not disturb other passengers it is a kiddush Hashem. if a person is ashamed by it, that he has to put up a mechitza in the middle of a plane, he has something within himself he has to fix, and we can't resolve that. Usually there are no problems with these mechitzas.
I love it! It's just too bad they did not post the contact information for distribution.
