In the British Airways lounge at Heathrow, If you use their free computers to connect to BoingBoing.net, you instead get a page that says it’s been blocked. Here’s a copy-and-paste of the page (because the PC has been crippled so that, among other things, I can’t do a screen capture):

British
Airways has blocked access to certain Internet sites which may be considered
to be illegal or offensive. This site is currently on the barred list.We
understand that the Internet changes constantly and that the decision
in respect of this particular site may no longer be appropriate. If
you would like us to review the decision to bar access to this site,
please give the website URL and a contact e-mail address to a member
of staff at the Lounge Reception. The response will be written confirmation
that either the ban on this site has been lifted, or that the site continues
to contain material that is inappropriate and, therefore, the bar on
access will continue.
Thank you for your co-operation.
