Younger Fliers Support In-Flight Cell Phone Use → Stupid law that has no place in the US.

The government should keep out of my cellphone, yo.

Don't get me wrong- I don't like the idea of someone yapping away while I'm trying to sleep - but this is something the airlines should be dealing with by offering "talking" and "non-talking" cabins or even flights.

Hell, go as far as requiring them to offer different cabins for talkers and sleepers - but banning phone use completely is not something our government should be concerning itself with.

As far as survey "results" go - who cares what the majority of people think? what matters is what the majority of frequent fliers (read: majority of airline customers) think. i.e. a person making 20 trips a year should count a lot more than Joe from Alabama who goes to visit his Aunt in Michigan once every 3 years.

And if you ask the frequent fliers, I bet the majority will tell you they would LOVE to be able to make a few calls here and there on a plane.
