Airplane Passengers Fart Becoming Security Threat ―Kenyan MP

…demands law to control farting on planes A Kenyan MP has demanded that a law be passed to help flight crews deal with passengers battling flatulence on board. Lilian Achieng Gogo told MPs that farting on planes could lead to fights. 

Achieng Gogo, MP for Rangwe constituency in western Kenya, told parliament that farting passengers were increasingly becoming a security threat because of the discomfort caused to fellow travellers. “There is one irritant that it is often ignored, and this is the level of farting within the aircraft… If this is not managed well it can cause discomfort and insecurity on board.” According to BBC report, the MP was contributing to a motion about amendments to a law on offences committed on aircraft.
