It's a trap. You think it's just powering your phone. But it's actually downloading all of the phone's contents to a central server, so the Illuminati can tell if you're conspiring against the lizard people who really run the planet (which "scientists" won't tell you is actually expanding). I know this is true, because Alex Jones told me.

But, does Harry Coin get to monitor the content for beastiality porn before it gets into the database?

Now if only they could figure out how to offer pillows that aren't the size of Chiclets.

Yeah same cheesy pillows, but they did have the adjustable headrests, which actually help me sleep better than a pillow anyway.

By the way, this was on a Hawaiian Airlines A330 flying from Honolulu to L.A. First time I've seen this on any plane in the last few years, though this particular plane was definitely either new or had a very recent remodel.

Air New Zealand does this. You can even play videos off your iPod onto the screen.

I LOVE Air New Zealand! And not just for this. Air New Zealand seats have leg room, even in cattle car.

Many newer airplanes have a USB bort under your seat, in my experience most people don't know that.

On my recent Emirates flight they had both!
(USB and 110V electricity which is fine even for European notebook adaptors)

Terrorists will use that to hack into the airplane's main computer. If the plane is wifi enabled then it can probably even link into the Pentagon's mainframes. All it would take is a terrorist with an iPhone and some knowledge in Visual Basic GUI interface.
Nah, too risky.

Cathay Pacific have a full sized power socket built in behind the drop down tray. Great for when I travelled from the U.K. to Hong Kong

The last plane I went on claimed it had those in the arm rests when I bought my ticket online...it didn't. I felt retarded because I looked around for the port for ages.

Here's what really gets me:
I live in Canada, and fly quite a bit. Air Canada has power connectors and USB connectors on just about every flight. No internet access.
Delta & a bunch of US airlines that I travel on have in-flight internet access (for a fee). No power connectors.
So, the airlines with internet have no power, the airlines with power have no internet. WTF.
