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."

What would have happened if ?.

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.

It is too bad that we can't force people to learn even the basics of proper grammar.

Hello? Remember 9/11/2001?

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.

Wifi is all I need

I'd settle for Wifi access. I think with UWB on the horizon, the range and interference issues will be put to bed.
