The “Transit Cover”? Howard Hughes would be proud

August

I tend not to worry much about warnings that germs are everywhere because, well, germs are everywhere and they always have been.

But for those who do worry, here comes the latest weapon in the war on illness — The Sure Fit Transit Cover. It’s a slip cover that you fit over your airplane seat back to protect you from whatever nasties are crawling around in the fabric. Here, take a look:

Because who knows what diseases ran through the body of the last guy who sat there? Or the one before him?

Sure Fit calls the $14.99 item “the newest must-have item to ease fears of catching the flu” in a plane or on a bus or train.

How did we ever get by without it?
