I was recently on a flight getting ready to take off, when they gave the standard speech about turning off electronic devices, etc., and everyone makes sure that there phones are turned off Its supposedly for EMC reasons, but can you imagine if all it took to bring down a plane was your mobile phone, or an I-pod ? You are flying inside a Faraday cage FFS, with the flight electronics in metal cases inside the fuselage. It couldn't have anything to do with the fact that you have to buy their in-flight call service could it ? Its like the urban myth about phones setting off explosions in gas stations. Steve |
