No offense, but I'd rather not have to get so close to someone that I need to use something like this. Maybe it works well, but it reminds me of a bottle opener.

As far as having it on the airplane, I'd rather whoop on a terrorist with the drink cart. Anyone ever sit in the aisle seat and have the stewardess smash into your elbow? Now that hurts! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Since 9/11 I haven't taken a single flight for personal travel, only for work. I think a lot of other people have had the same idea, because there seem to be new hotels and motels popping up everywhere for the road-weary travelers.
