Devious Gadget: Knee Defender

Gadling picked up the Knee Defender a little product that prevents the seat in front of you on an airplane from reclining. We covered this baby before but now it's got a new design which the website claims, somewhat dubiously, makes it look cool. The tiny device comes in a pair that slips over your tray table and blocks the "faceless, determined seat recliner" in front of you from reclining. Let's clarify though: he's only faceless until he turns around and asks, "What the fuck are you doing?" At that moment, you also transform from that gadget-loving road warrior to a little weiner who may or may not get in a confrontation about your weeniness. Still if you want to risk it, who are we to stop you? The Knee Defender costs US$14.95.
