Cell Phones In The Air?

jumbledInTheHead writes "Are you ever annoyed when someone near you talks unnecessarily loud on their cell phone? Or even worse, when it is in a tight, enclosed space and you can't walk away? The problem is about to get worse the next time you take a flight; the FAA is considering removing the ban on cell phone use on airlines."

    Seriosuly, what would have happened if those frantic phone calls from the 9/11 planes had caused them to crash down into the bay instead of into the twin towers. It still would be a tragedy , but a bitter sweet one than the one that really happened.

    Still I'm saddened twinfold by those attacks. Not only did they kill a number of innocents, but they also made US Xenophobic to an extreme where they were willing to finance a war on an unrelated soverign nation for an vested interests of the rulers. People don't want war, but they can always be brought to the bidding of the rulers [warning: swastika]

    Anyway, all that was offtopic - I still haven't recovered from Eminem's Mosh video yet.

    Remember 9/11 when people on the doomed airliners were making calls to their loved ones? Cell phones worked pretty well on airplanes back in 2001.
