Sigh Of Relief

Chairman Kevin Martin announced recently that the FCC will give up it's plans to allow mobile phone usage during flights. I would like to be the first to say thank you for preventing all those future in-flight bare handed murders. All the studies regarding this change seem to have focused on the technical issues of providing this service. It's the psychological issues that they need to be looking at.
A level headed passenger who is subjected to an in-flight screening of "Little Man" and a yabbering phone user can be pushed to extreme acts of violence. Everybody has their breaking point.
Europe, on the other hand, is moving forward with their plans to allow phone usage during flights. Isn't Europe the place where the Gallagher brothers from the band Oasis fly planes? Good luck on that one. Can't wait to see what happens when a Greek and a Turk sit next to each other with mobile phones.

As for me, I only ask my aisle mate to quietly work on their Soduku puzzle and don't cough too much.
