Politicians Look to Criminalize In-Flight Calling

So long as the person speaks in a reasonable tone of voice, I don't think I would mind at all.

I think they should ban children from flying as well. Not only are children annoying on planes, but they kick the back of your seats. It's even worse when the parents are next to them and don't care. We shouldn't stop at banning cell phone chatter, we should at least add children to the HANG UP act. Hell, we shouldn't stop at banning children from airplanes, we should ban children that any places mobile phones aren't allowed.
