Jim, you're on drugs. Here is what I said:
"You could easily have been sued if you had posted a video of the child on YouTube. A plane in flight is not a public area. You would have had signed permission (models release) from the mom, and we can safely assume that wasn't going to happen.
Just because people do post things on the web they've taken with their cell phone, doesn't make it legal. Any parent finding their child on YouTube, would come after you with lawyers blazing. A couple of subpoenas, and YouTube gives up your information."
That dealt with the publication of photographs without permission of the subject.
As far as whether an airliner is public or private, in the US, you have to have permission to take photos on private property. On an airliner, you still need permission. You have to have the property owners permission to take photos on private property. An airliner, last time I looked, was private property. That nobody does so, is irrelevant.
Am I going to waste time looking up specific laws? No, you're not worth the effort.
