And since they're in CA, they could have flown far enough offshore to be out of the jurisdiction of the FCC... They would also have been far enough out that the cell phone signal would not have interfered with any of the cell phone towers (assuming that is even still an issue with the digital phones of today)... It would have been more interesting if they talked about the FCC's reasons for their ban and if current technology could still cause problems with towers. -Robert
