Is "Rawdogging" a Flight as Awful as It Sounds?
As dignity has officially disembarked planes around the world, distraction has become an essential part of air travel. And it's easy to keep busy: Seatback entertainment systems on airlines like Delta offer an embarrassment of new releases and classics—Bob Fosse’s elusive All That Jazz was streamable on a recent flight, for example, which I had to buy a DVD of to watch on solid ground; airport stalwarts like Hudson News have racks of bestsellers and magazines for anyone who might have forgotten their reading at home. It's as ingrained in us to download playlists before boarding as it is to remove our shoes going through TSA. Plug in, zone out, leave that body of yours that’s folded uncomfortably into an economy seat. That's the ritual. But not everyone, it seems, is so keen for diversion.
