There are products that people can but to provent the person in front of you from reclining but I think all the airlines bannned them after too many fights.

Luckily Margie wasn't sitting next to this guy:

Portland-bound passengers urinated on; man jailed

Worse even than companion dogs pooping in the aisle.

I'm going to agree with Margie on this one. Flying is, as a matter of necessity, inconvenient as people are involved. Like has been sated, kids kicking the seat back, or babies crying at the top of their lungs, drunks.... but when someone is essentially pushed out of their seat by another who is morbidly obese then the airline needs to step in. I get it that it is politically incorrect and even possibly at odds with the ADA, but there should be a height/weight matrix that if a passenger is over it they have to purchase an extra seat.

Last time I paid attention to a mass of people, a good majority were not Slim Jim's, and they have as much right to spend their money to fly as much as anyone else.

What needs to happen is for the seating in air crafts to be redesigned for better accommodation, and it can be done.

If I have paid for a seat, that entitles me to sit in that seat. The whole seat. It does not entitle someone else to sit in it.
