If a cell phone could cause a major safety concern for an aircraft, they'd be banned (and the ban enforced) from being taken onboard same as guns, knives, etc - you'd be searched for them. Do you really think everyone follows the rules? I mean, I would think that if they were that huge of a concern, safety wise, you'd not be given the opportunity to do such harm. Especially important if a cell phone is bad enough to bring down an aircraft, terrorists would have already done it, considering the ease of hidden use among several passengers. |

1 edit | I have to agree. In April 2008 the EU gave approval for in flight cell phone use. Obviously they are going to need some type of air to ground relay equipment before cell phones are going to work at 35,000 ft but they approved it all around and not just on certain aircraft.
If the EU approves then its safe in my eyes. They do much more stringent testing then the FAA and FCC. |
