One other thing to note about that short flight, the flight attendant had me unshackle my fanny pack and put it under the seat. No big deal, I complied.

But in the same row there was a family of 4 with two very young daughters, both under 10, maybe one was under 5.

They both were holding full sized iPads and staring at the screens, watching a video or playing games.

What was more likely to go projectile, my fanny pack strapped around my waist or those iPads held by tiny children?
