Now showing on JetBlue ...

Why did JetBlue allow passengers on board a plane making an emergency landing to watch their own drama unfold through on-board TV sets? News.com's Daniel Terdiman provides an interesting answer: the company trusts passengers to use their own judgment when it comes to the tube.

Bryan Baldwin, a JetBlue spokesman, told CNET News.com late Wednesday that the airline generally does not stop its passengers from watching the satellite television.

"Our general policy is not to censor the programming pretty much under any circumstance," Baldwin said. "That's our general policy across the board. We provide customers information on how to make the screen dark if there's something they don't want to watch."
