But what's interesting it that on every flight that I've taken in recent history the FA comes over the PA and says that it's OK to use computers so long as you can disable the wireless part of your laptop. Interesting considering that if you put wireless in the plane, your going to have all of that RF to begin with so why bother to tell people to turn it off at all? What are they going to do, wrap the pax cabin with RF absorbing material so as to not affect flight instruments? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
