Lawmakers Balk at Cellphones on Jets
Lawmakers yesterday expressed reluctance about
allowing the use of cellphones on planes, citing safety and annoyance concerns.
Homeland Security officials raised new concerns about terrorists' ability to use
such devices to carry out attacks.
While many business travelers are pressing to use
their cellphones on flights, Federal Aviation Administration officials are
moving slowly on studying their safety. In addition, public comments suggest
that a lot of travelers don't want to listen to others' phone
calls.
