Only a tool if they are under 50. I can remember having to build a fire under some radios to warm up the tubes enough

[QUOTE=Rock752000;1180204]TOTD is the pax in front of you while your commuting to/from work, who after takeoff violently forces their seat to recline in an anything but smooth way, and impacts your knees, laptop, etc.

Back when most companies had the inflight magazines, what I would do is as soon as I got in the seat, I would roll up a couple of magazines tightly and stick them vertically in the seat pocket. That effectively eliminates their ability to recline the seat.
