I also liked this little tidbit...

And despite the ban on cell phone use during flights, the researchers
discovered that on average one to four cell phone calls are made from
every commercial flight in the northeast United States.

Some are even made during critical flight times, such as the climb
after takeoff or the final approach.

The latter quote is most interesting because I've never had or heard of a
cell phone that even worked above about 3000'AGL... And we all know that
these devices (especially laptops which sometimes ARE the GPS system) don't
really interfere.

I guess they are just trying to stop competition because they heard how
productive guys like me are when using laptops on airplanes, since no one
can reach us on the cell and disturb us...
