About this model

This clever little device is a simple but powerful tool in the combat against inconsiderate people reclining thier seat, on an aeroplane, so far that you are breathing on their bald spot. invented by Ira Goldman in 2003, the defender only got real attention when a fight broke out on a flight which had the plane diverted. The contriversial product is attached to the back of an airline seat, preventing the person in front of you from reclining. As seats on flights continue to shrink, the battle for space in the sky is becoming more acrimonious by the day.
