DIA blocks sites to protect kids

Media Life reports the following: "If you’re traveling in or out of Denver International Airport with your laptop, you won’t be able to access porn. Or Vanity Fair magazine’s web site. Or the hipster site boingboing.net. That’s because airport officials are blocking sites they believe to be racy or unfit for youngsters’ consumption. The Denver Post reports that airport officials decided to prohibit access to potentially provocative web sites when the airport's free wireless service went online in November. While critics say the airport is employing the same technology used by repressive regimes in the Middle East, airport officials say they would rather deal with infrequent complaints they receive about lack of access than deal with irate parents."
