But, if so, that would do it.
The cell phone jammer is the market-based answer to what may be the most sweeping, most ubiquitous phenomenon to hit the communications market since the spoken word. The most powerful ones, retailing for upwards of $1,000, can block cell phone signals continuously over a fairly large area -- a whole restaurant, for instance. But the big sellers are the pocket-sized jammer, which at the discreet touch of a single button can shut down every cell phone within a few yards.
Maybe a few of these on any plane would do the job!

WASHINGTON — A new U.N. Human Rights Council official assigned to monitor Israel is calling for an official commission to study the role neoconservatives may have played in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
On March 26, Richard Falk, Milbank professor of international law emeritus at Princeton University, was named by unanimous vote to a newly created position to report on human rights in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs. While Mr. Falk's specialty is human rights and international law, since the attacks in 2001, he has devoted some of his time to challenging what he calls the "9-11 official version."
On March 24 in an interview with a radio host and former University of Wisconsin instructor, Kevin Barrett, Mr. Falk said, "It is possibly true that especially the neoconservatives thought there was a situation in the country and in the world where something had to happen to wake up the American people. Whether they are innocent about the contention that they made that something happen or not, I don't think we can answer definitively at this point. All we can say is there is a lot of grounds for suspicion, there should be an official investigation of the sort the 9/11 commission did not engage in and that the failure to do these things is cheating the American people and in some sense the people of the world of a greater confidence in what really happened than they presently possess."

Off topic, but just curious as to what you all think?

Hard to tell from that.
Were Hillary people trying to sign up as Obama delegates so they could cause mischief at the convention?
In any case, anything written about Obama on mydd is bound to be biased against him.

Makes sense to me.
I will just have to read very LOUDLY when I fly to France this summer.

How ridiculous is that? On flights to the US they annonounce "on all flights to the US, it is not allowed to congregate anywhere on the plane ESPECIALLY near the restrooms" (I never understood how something is NOT allowed, but ESPECIALLY not allowed there!)
On top of which, all the white noise in an airliner, means the already bad connections will b worse, with people yelling into phones, straining to hear what the other person says.
On top of that, airlines are giong belly up because of fuel prices, but they are going to ADD WEIGHT to the plane by installing equipment to enable/better reception for cell-phones, and use up extra room?
What you want to bet it will cost an arm and a leg (probably as much as it does on those plane phones) per minute? Suddenly, safety is a lesser concern? War on Terror takes a break and gives them an advantage they can use and ignore the wishes of the multitude of customers. See, most folks don't want this, or...they want it for themselves but NOT for others.
