Here鈥檚 our 平特五不中 expert available to comment on this issue:

鈥淚n crowded spaces-- city streets, airplanes-- we have to buffer between people's rights with manners, and the rule of good manners is that the burden falls on the person who objects to someone else's proximity. The objectors can buy extra space, or appeal and persuade, or avoid crowded spaces, but they can't demand."
