Maybe the FAA Gadget Ban On Liftoff and Landing Isn't So Bad

Posted by timothy on from the you-have-your-opinion-I-have-mine dept.

First time accepted submitter oyenamit writes "Ars Technica reported a while back that FAA is going to reconsider the ban on use of electronic gadgets during take-off and landing. If this ban is revoked, you will be free to use your gizmos for an additional 30 minutes or so. Peter Bright has an interesting take on why lifting of the ban may not be such a good idea."

    Indeed. Intellectual property; land and other natural resource ownership; limited liability businesses... all these arbitrary forms of power need to be abolished.

    Then we can worry about liquor laws.
