Just out of curiosity, what would you suggest someone do if they need to defecate while flying, especially on a transcon? Step outside? Only consume activated charcoal for 48 hours prior to all flights?
I don't see electing to go barefoot as quite comparable with "pooping" - one is strictly voluntary, the other is a necessary biological function.
I see your point, but mine was about offensivity. I can turn my head and not look at someone's bare feet, but I can't hold my breath long enough for the stench to dissipate.
Speaking personally, I try to take care of that before leaving home or hotel, but that's just me. Judging from yesterday's flight, it seems a number of pax say "hey, I'm going to be on a plane for 6 hours -- I think I'll chow down on a quart of chili and guzzle a gallon of coffee and beer!"
