AS A RULE, IF YOU ARE LISTENING to music — whether it’s on a portable speaker, on your phone, or even on your headphones — you should ask yourself, “Is this loud enough that other people who may not want to hear this can hear this?” And if the answer’s yes, maybe turn the speaker down.
This is not what happened on a SpiritAir flight from Baltimore to LA last week. As the flight landed in LA, two passengers who “appeared to be intoxicated” according to a SpiritAir official, pulled out a portable speaker and started playing loud music.
