And the person who did it was arrested. A bit of a disincentive to look at
pron in a public place...

Qantas passenger viewed child porn in airport lounge

Qantas has defended the adequacy of its internet filters after a man
accessed child pornography in its Melbourne Airport lounge.

Mark Stephen Heers, 45, of St Leonards, NSW, pleaded guilty in the
Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday to three counts of using the internet
to access child pornography, including on a public computer at the Qantas
Club last September.

Heers was arrested after a fellow passenger saw him looking at pornographic
images on the computer and alerted staff, who notified the Australian
Federal Police.

Prosecutor Jan McAlpine told the court Heers viewed 76 child pornography
files over a 40-minute period in the Qantas lounge. She said some of the
images were of children as young as six years.
A spokesman for Qantas, Jo Aston, said the airline had always had "a string
of access restrictions in place", and was committed to "continually
monitoring and enhancing" its filters.
