Seems rather ridiculous that all carry on bags are checked for bombs, knives, toothpaste, shampoo,etc for fear of some kind of threat. Yet, it is left up to passengers to turn off their own phones ...
If there were interference problems, navigational or otherwise, wouldn't all passengers be required to leave the phone at home or at least stow it in checked luggage? It is left up to the individual passenger to not interfere with airline navigational systems.....but oral hygiene should be checked at the gate. <g> I guess the government is protecting us after all. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/11/06 2:23 PM >>> Actually, it's in the FAA regs.
