Put the two together, and they will let people crap in their seats if it saves time and makes a buck. If left to their own devices, there is no doubt in my mind that airlines and cell providers would have people chatting up a storm.

With that sort of thing in mind, why the hell do we need any of our governments time legislating on this crap.

What are they going to ban cell phones on the train now too, maybe buses, both captive transportation mediums as well.]]>Apr 17th 2008 3:20PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/
No one on the bus gives a shit about how your day was, so keep you mouth SHUT until you get within proximity to someone who does!

Point it: If I am trapped with you on public transit, you should have the respect for me that I have for you, that is not to attempt to centralize the entire world around yourself for the 20 minutes we are together.]]>Apr 18th 2008 2:30PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/Apr 17th 2008 3:30PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/Is it technically that difficult to makes changes to allow that?]]>Apr 17th 2008 3:44PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/Apr 17th 2008 4:15PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/
I agree that cell phone's can be annoying, but do we have to make it illegal before we even give it a shot? We let talking on your cell phone while driving be legal for a while and now we're requiring hands free devices, but we're not getting rid of it completely.

To be honest, loud obnoxious children of shameless parents bug me a hell of a lot more than OCD cell phone users, but we can't make them illegal on a plane, can we?]]>Apr 18th 2008 1:57AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/There's this wonderful invention called "earplugs." It's a kind of plug which blocks outside sounds from one's ears. Ingenious, no? Plus, they can be had for the low, low price of 3$.

@Bernardino
I think loud, obnoxious children should be banned from flights. At least from red eyes. Come on, it appears they can legislate anything, anyway...]]>Apr 18th 2008 8:58AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/Apr 17th 2008 3:54PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/Apr 17th 2008 4:23PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/Apr 17th 2008 5:01PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/17/house-bill-proposes-in-flight-cellphone-use/
You're the idiot who talks on his phone while in line at the grocery store and takes 10 minutes to find his credit card because he's in the middle of a conversation.

Sir, I hope your sperm are being irradiated by wearing your Batman-style belt filled with an iPhone, Blackberry and Treo all at once.

May you never have children to spread your godforsaken DNA any further.

If you really need to make a phone call, go ahead, the airlines provide one for you in your seat. It's not my problem that it's $5/minute or whatever charge it's up to now (I don't fly that often).

First class calls/no calls, coach calls/no calls
