Electronics & Planes Don't Mix?

dirtydamo writes "The Sydney Morning Herald is running an interesting story on the old debate on whether electronic devices cause problems on planes. It appears pilots are pretty much accustomed to handling weird problems with equipment, which they attribute to passengers' portable devices. More research is needed to determine whether or not this is the actual problem, but the article certainly makes me a little uneasy about modern air travel."

If a fucking electronic dictionary can fuck up a plane then we need to get better hardened electronics in planes! I mean shit, what happens when a plane is struck by lightning? The pilot just gives up? Or hell just put a farraday cage around the cabin. Who gives a fuck if it costs more, they should have integrated this into airliner design a long time ago!
