Well you are the one that started the thread with the premise that there is no interference from consumer electronics. If you truly don't use any of that stuff, why do you care?

Probably a third of my friends who are pilots are/were flying for an airline.
You need better quality friends. Seriously, I am also one of those that fly for an airline. As I said in my previous post, I am sort of playing Devil's Advocate. But there is enough weird stuff out there that it DOES warrant caution. Are we SO addicted to our electronics that we can't do without them for 15 minutes prior to takeoff and maybe 30 prior to landing?

And the same story is in the USA Today on Fri. Oct. 4. Maybe they have a vendetta also.
Really? All they care about is selling papers. And a lot of times, they don't even care if what they report is accurate.

Well, your idea fits the facts about as well as the claims made over the years.
What IS my idea? That MAYBE some electronics may cause a problem? Guilty as charged. Do I have any proof? Not really, but there isn't much proof that they DON'T either.

Maybe I am really Alec Baldwin writing under an alias and have my vendetta against airlines.
The only reason I said you appear to have a vendetta is because you seem to be so adamant about it.

And speaking of unlikely, if possible, there is a story on the news today that a new scientific ? research group says Bigfoot is real and they not only have a video of him in the woods in Tenn. , but some DNA tests on hair that shows he is a humanoid that split off from our race 13,000 years ago.
Talk about a non sequitur.

Bill, for someone who admittedly doesn't have a horse in the race, you sure are pursuing it hard.
