As I frequent travelor to Tampa, one of the ameneties I've always enjoyed at the airport is free WIFI for all travelors. Not many airports offer this - most charge $9.95 per day.

I've always been able to view any site I've wanted without problem.

Today was the first time that I ran into a problem. They have obviously added some software to restrict access to certain sites.

I tried to going to the MJ site and got an message saying "access denied" - "Gambling".

There was a link where you could flag the website for "review". My guess is they think that the site allow gambling, rather than Free Form Discussion.

Rather disappointing - i didn't realize that a public entity could filter websites - something about one of amendments (1st?) about free speach....

Hmmmm....

Hedge:

I do have a Blackberrry Storm, which I use all the time... don't have much luck bringing up MJ's though...

Jack - does MJ's have a PDA enabled version of the site? Many sites do, but most of them are pretty large companies....
