Jim: If the airlines DID return blankets to the coach section, would they launder them? I'm not sure the possibility of civil liability for not laundering blankets would be enough to deter an airline from keeping disease laden blankets in the racks. I wonder---are the blankets in first class even cleaned?

The practice of selling blankets, which some airlines do, seems to make more sense from a health standpoint.
