So there I am sitting in the front seats in the upper deck on the KLM plane getting bored that we are delayed because a few passengers did not show up and their luggage needs to be pulled out… When I noticed something. Look at the privacy screen between me and my neighbor. It is really not much of a privacy screen – it is about one and a half feet by a foot. But I can read over that all the magazine articles that my neighbor is reading and take clean shots of the outside world thru the window.

Here is my question – why all those random holes in the metal screen?

I asked my neighbor if I could take a picture – I pointed out that I was trying to take a picture of the small screen and wondering why all those holes. But since she might come in the picture, I wanted her to be ok with it. She said – “Not a problem at all” and then as you can see, kept staring at the screen wondering the same question as I had.

Does anybody know??
