Cell phones on planes redux
May 7, 2008In follow up to my recent screed about the potential FAA decision to let people use cell phones in flight.
I read with interest in the NY Times the other day that three congressman (two Democrats and a Republican) are introducing a new bill called HANGUP which would banc such an intrusion on our limited peace and quiet while airborne.
A coach seat on a transcontinental flight has got to be the most expensive piece of real estate in the world – recently $989 for a 2 square foot piece, so the least we can ask for is not to have to listen to our neighbor yelling at his ex.
These guys have my vote!!
