How about they just ban flying, that way the planes can’t get blown up at all.

WTF is the point of that?
its not because of radio signals could interfere with the planes instruments is it?
because
1 there has been many studies proving mobile phones and other electronics have absolutely NO effect on the planes instruments.
2 turn off the WIFI on your PSP and it does not send any radio signals.
how am i going to bring down a plane with a friggin ipod?
so there paying for the in flight entertainment are they?
what am i going to do when i go for my 14 hour flight to italy?
this is BS man, utter BS!
what the hell am i suppose to do on a plane for 14 fu**ing hours?
this is just a BS excuse for the flight companies to influence you into buying their earphones and paying to watch foxtell on the planes.

No electronics on a flight? How does my iPod (wich hat it’s volume turned down to not disturb other passengers) cause any harm? Because of some idiot trying to blow up a plane? That’s one idiot in how many airplanes starting and landing safely per day? Thought so. What’s next? Banning all fluids from being taken on a flight? Because the limit to 100ml containers still alows for some neat bomb making.

Of course, the unspoken irony is that the terrorists win whenever measures like that are taken.

And it’s unspoken because Headsets are Â£5

And there’s the kids who would have been entertained by DS’s or whatever and will end up screetching, making the situation all the worse.

People who put seats back are fucks, plain and simple. It’s like using mobile phone speakers on a bus.
