RANDOM MUSINGS

Yesterday the FCC decided to not lift the ban on cell phones on air planes. And all I can say is thank goodness! I don’t know enough about radio transmissions and frequencies to say that cell phones on an air plane would be dangerous, but I do know they would have been seriously annoying! Can you imagine being stuck on a flight with everybody and their brother on the phone? And we all know most people talk even louder when they get on their cell phone…especially if there are other people also talking around them! I actually speak at a normal volume when I am on the phone, as opposed to my usual loudness. Just because I hate being on the phone in front of people…so I try to be quiet so no one can hear my conversations. Cause the stuff I talk about is so important, right?? Ha. Anyway…I really think this was a good decision! And a relief for when anyone flies. See CNN for more info…

“The idea of a person being a captive audience to someone yapping on the phone is simply a recipe for a lot of anger and a fair share of conflicts,” he wrote.

The phones have been snapped shut for now, at least as far as the FCC is concerned. But the issue may come up again. The agency said it may “reconsider this issue in the future if appropriate technical data is available for our review.”
