Committee Approves Ban of In-Flight Cell Phone Use
The main question should be why?
I feel that if anything, the airlines should just say "Hey this is not allowed."
Does it have to be such a horrible act as to justify it being a crime?
Are we so irresponsible as a nation that we cannot self regulate ourselves when it comes to such a trivial matter?
I don't understand why something like this needs to be written in law, it should just be a rule of the airlines. Next thing you know, they'll make it illegal to eat cheese. Then where will we be? That's right. A cheeseless, in-flight calling-less society ruled by robots and 90 year old senators. I for one welcome our new Blackberry overlords.
Now, people say how is this different then in a mall or something, well its sorta hard to walk away from it at 30,000ft.
Personally I can think of 100 things more important that I would like the Congress working on instead of wasting time with this.

I honestly understand the reason why people ...

Right now all of the airlines ban cell phone calls, but they're not required to by law. Some of them could decide to allow it while others continued to ban it, so it might get confusing for consumers to remember whether or not they're allowed to make a call on a particular airline.
(I'm not advocating either way... just saying that this is one possible reason for needing a law.)
you would think that by now cell phones wouldnt effect a plane and all its equipment.
and yea people can be annoying, but that is no reason to make it a law saying you cant talk on your phone on a plane. if it is a potential hazard, then ok. but it seems to be just cuz a bunch of old people got pissed cuz someone was talking beside them
i hate the fact that this country is run by a bunch of stupid, whiney, dumb old farts that cant accept change
