Funny enough I talked with Boeing during the Connexion test flight we took recently. They tell me a cell phone most likely can’t take down a plane. I think it’s fun to think about it this way. Everytime I fly into Oakland Maryam and I pass several hundred feet over the KGO Radio towers. That’s 50,000 watts of AM talk radio pleasure. And my little portable device is gonna do something nasty to the plane that that won’t? Hmmm.

It’s interesting the little rules society just repeats over and over and over without really thinking them through. That said, it’s going to be a sad day when they allow cell phones to be used on planes. If that ever happens getting Ultimate Ears headphones will be a must. Those things really are great. You can’t hear a baby screaming at full volume in the seat next to you.

All due to Bill Kinnon who said he thought that I already was the Dilbert blog. Ouch.
