    Yes, it is. Which is why we have the funny construct "you all" - as southerners often contract to "y'all."

    Then maybe you've found one of the folly of console gaming? Have you missed the whole concept of Indy Games lately? Certainly, if you've been stuck in console-land.

    ... and how, pray tell, does that ruin anyone's lives? I'm almost 30 now and I've not even been arrested, let alone been in a court.

    As well it shouldn't be ignored. The fuckers poisoned the parents. It's one thing to hide it from people who don't really need to know, it's another to make it go away entirely.

    Therapy would likely be a good idea as well. If a kid is willing to poison (drugging, poisoning... same thing) there is something seriously wrong.

    And, seriously, they just put their kid behind bars. I bet they think that'll teach 'em.

    I bet it would. Kids do something excessive, they deserve an excessive lesson in return. It's one thing to lie, whine, or manipulate. It's another entirely to poison/drug - especially for so stupid a reason.

    Or one could place odometer-checking checkpoints on all roads in/out of a given state. I think the more reasonable way to go is simply have the fuel pumps require the odometer during use. Fleet cards already do that, so it's not like you're asking too much of the fueling stations. It's not perfect - you could fuel up out of state to dodge it - but I think it's better than the checkpoint option.

    Hell they even have multiple compasses!

    You've got the more accurate flux compass. Used because it doesn't act all screwy in turns etc. But there's still a good old fashioned magnetic compass up there.

    Important note: the phone would have been in the cargo bay, in close proximity to the smoke detector's sensors or circuitry.

    Proximity is a BIG deal with EMI. The strength of the "signal" is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

    Lets also consider this: The two in the cockpit are a lot closer to the core avionics than the 200 in the back. Both are far enough from antennas and other sensors to not be an issue as well. I believe the flux sensors for the compasses are in the wings? Antennas are either on the back or belly, or out on the wings as well.

    My radio only picks up crap from my Kindle if I have the antenna millimeters away, AND hold the squelch open.
