For current political commentary, see the daily political notes.
Ryanair now requires every passenger to have a so-called "smart" phone. I suspect that it requires every passenger to run a nonfree Ryanair app, too, meaning that a snoop-phone running some non-Google Android variant won't work.
This is a very dangerous form of pressure, and other airlines will be tempted to imitate it. Please, even if you do carry a snoop-phone, boycott the airlines that exclude the people who don't have one.
