Broken: Airport laptop terminal
Attached is a picture of a laptop data port at LaGuardia Airport, NYC. Picture was taken in the Northwest terminal. Someone decided to replace one of the pay phones with some sort of laptop data port. However, they didn't install any sort of desk or ledge. In the hour I was waiting at the airport, I observed three people forced to sit on the floor while using this data port.
It also looks like the unit has a sloped top to prevent debris (and laptops) from being placed up there.
But People ! This is to the future! ! I remember when Automobiles showed up on the American scene - and there were no roads!!

They did the same thing in Philadelphia, too. The last time I used it, I sat on the floor and my legs fell asleep. As I was trying to get up, two pilots rushed over to help me -- they thought I had fallen and I couldn't get up!
