Basically they were making comments about her diva-like behavior on the flight, about how she would go to the lavatory in her bare feet and persisted despite gentle attempts to tell her how nasty that was, etc. Pretty much every passenger on the bus got an earful of gossip about Ms. Spears' in-flight antics.

Now, I am a physician and that kind of talk in an elevator, let alone a bus, would have gotten me in very hot water with HIPAA, the hospitals I work at, and quite possibly my state licensing board. Not that I really care about Ms. Spears' privacy, but it made me wonder if there's any kind of policy, written or unwritten, concerning decorum or confidentiality among members of the aviation industry?
