ARI SHAPIRO, host:

And our last word in business today comes from Delta Airlines. The word is, no in-flight porn. Delta plans to launch its wireless Internet service this year. And apparently there's been some concern about the possibility of passengers surfing adult Web sites while en route. Before, Delta said flight attendants would handle such situations on a case-by-case basis. But that might have put flight attendants in an awkward position. So the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the airline has a new solution. It's working with its wireless service to provide a filter to block offensive Web sites. And that's the business news on Morning Edition from NPR News. I'm Ari Shapiro.
