I sat next to Corrine Brown, U.S. Representative for Florida's 5th congressional district on a flight from EWR to LAX last August... Her daughter "stole" my seat in F while I went to the bathroom. I saw what was happening so I hung around in front chatting to the FA. They saw me waiting and after finishing the discussion the daughter went back to her seat. Ms. Brown thanked me profusely for letting them have their discussion, after which I could not get her to stop talking
