    Police: Man viewed child porn on US flight

    BOSTON (AP) — Police say a man who was viewing child pornography on a domestic airline flight from Salt Lake City to Boston has been arrested.

    Massachusetts State Police say 47-year-old Grant Smith was sitting in first class Saturday afternoon when a fellow passenger saw the pornographic images on Smith's laptop and alerted the flight crew.

    When the Delta flight landed at Boston Logan International Airport just after 4 p.m., troopers interviewed Smith and subsequently arrested him.

    He has been charged with possession of child pornography, and police say additional charges could follow. His bail is set at $15,000. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday.

    Smith was in police custody Saturday night and couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

      My question is...If they were going to throw him off the plane....why did they have to land first?

      He must be a real, hard core pervert not to be able to even wait a few hours to view those disgusting images. Glad he was caught.

      I'm glad he had no self control, now he is identified and branded for life.

      What I'd like to know is why these sites are operating to begin with...Anyone with a brain knows that the Internet is not completely "safe," somebody, somewhere has the ability to "watch" you via your computer's IP address. Why doesn't the gov't just shut these sites down?

      This goes along the same line as the "war" on drugs. Drugs are a bad thing...Child Porn is a bad thing, yet the gov't addresses the issue the same way. Arrest the small-town dealer on the street corner, arrest the pervert watching the child porn on his laptop, and leave the drug kingpins and major porn companies to keep on producing their sewerage and making it available to anyone with the money to buy or view it.

      A pedophile who can afford to fly first class, held on $15K bail? Anyone else see the problem here?

      Also for you travelers Watching any kind of porn in public could lead to problems for you if a child sees it , because under current law it is a crime to expose children to this material even if you did not mean too

      "Child Pornography" is much too nice a term for what is actually a recording of a child being abused and raped.
    • from the old school about an hour ago
      Open door, throw from plane, "NEXT!???"...end of problem.

      Thank you to who reported it.

      Anyone who views, creates, or has any involvement in child pornography needs to be shot. Period !!!!! To violate an innocent child for pleasure and inflict a lifetime of pain and suffering is inexcusable.

      Just because you're 35,000 feet up in the air doesn't make you immune from criminal activity.
      Very stupid move on the part of pedo, smart move on the part of the passenger. Some people may have viewed this and just ignored the situation. Kudos to the passenger and the airline for reporting this to the authorities.
