This seems to be more fear of litigation than PC

That is true to a point.

LONDON (AFP) - A British clown has had the smile wiped off his face after being told he couldn't use balloons in his act because children might be allergic to latex.

I like how they say that they have the welfare of children at heart. Obviously they have lost sight of the big picture I'd say.

:rotfl: O my god......

really I almost fell of my chair on this one...

if they want to have a low risk live...lock'em up in a isolated chamber

BUT there MIGHT be still SOMETHING they COULD be allergic for....a life perhaps...

I think it is time we all live in plastic bubbles just like John Travolta in his grand old move, 'The Boy in the Plastic Bubble". Anyway, they banned peanuts on commerical aircraft for the same reason...allergies. If people are allergic to latex....what will this do to the condom industry? They will be banned in all major gas station bathrooms and removed from the shelves at the local drug stores

Is that why I am getting the damn pretzels lately instead of my peanuts? I hate pretzels! I think they are descriminating against me! It is time I call over there and raise some hell about how they are descriminating against me!

Pretzels? I hope they are salt free! What about those that need a low sodium diet? Good Lord....are we not safe anymore?

They do sell alcohol on these same aircraft don't they? That should be banned before my peanuts! Especially my honey roasted or candy coated variety!

Actually, I am allergic to peanuts and it really is a large problem in an enclosed space like that. Just speaking from experience, here. Runny noses, itchiness, and coughs are 10 times worse when you're on a plane, at least that's what it feels like to me.

What about the poor people who are allergic to vitamin D? BAN THE SUN!!!

While I like peanuts I can understand why they took them off of planes. For some people the smell is enough to cause reactions.

and what is the PC going to do about people that are allergic to PC ?

I don't think that has anything to do with the peanuts - that's just airline travel and happens to everyone.

In all seriousness, peanuts can cause problems for those allergic to them. Hence the removal of the suspected nut from the aircraft.
