Yet again, a suicide in Japan... !!! Oh and why that ?? Just cos' of some damn pride and incapacity to accept and live with the fact that something "u did OR are partly responsible for" went WRONG !! Accidents unfortunately do happen !! and "suicide" will NOT be the solution but more like some WEAK way out !! It's just plain DUMB to me...

No jail time of course !!! Come on, Japan has to loosen up a bit on this "drug use" sentences... (you can do jail time for possession of a few joints overthere, that's insane !!) Community service and/or some kind of enforced rehab, as some here said, ok ! but jail?? No way !!! (especialy for that kind of amount of drug found !!) Anyway, we'll see what will be the final sentence...

I don't get why cellphone use should be allowed on planes!!! Loads of users would clearly be regardless/careless of other passengers. It would definitely annoy people around(maybe me the first...).
Also, at the moment you already have the possibility to call using your seat remote controler/phone, paying by credit card so why not simply reducing the fees of onboard calls!?
In-flight Internet access as it seems to be on trial in the U.S. , could be a nice alternative, allowing passengers to even use softwares such as MSN Messenger/Skype etc with some efficient noise-cancelling ear-phones/plugs and mic...
WHAT THEY SHOULD ALL WORK ON ARE THE "SECURITY "PROCEDURES WE ALL HAVE TO GO THROUGH BEFORE BOARDING!!! AND SO, RESPECTING CIVIL RIGHTS AND LIBERTY... BEING "TAGGED", TAKEN YOUR FINGER-PRINTS & PICTURE, TRAVELLING WITH "OPEN-LUGGAGES" ETC... IS (I.M.O.) A REAL PAIN IN THE A-S!!! YOU ALMOST CAN'T SH*T WITHOUT EVERY "AGENCIES" KNOWING ABOUT IT ANYMORE!!! THAT'S WHAT THEY SHOULD ALL WORK ON...

Anyway, first of all you don't get married to get advantages from it so in my opinion that question is pointless!!!
