That said, CIHY on this thread as other resident crew members on others confirmed that the only time the screen is considered to endanger passengers' safety is during the safety demonstration when crew show where the exits are and explain about floor lighting. The moment the safety demonstration is over the privacy screen is considered fully safe to raise and so till disembarkation.
given that it was put up when he arrived the seat and was not lowered during safety briefing, a) crew did not do their job properly; b) the dude compromised the safety of karen - still selfish, given that the chances of actually running into an emergency is rather low.
Do you need a police to enforce driving through a red light to prove the action being dangerous, selfish, or both?
