Men coming out of the caves.

I was always scared that the terrorists are gonna find out that you can bring down a plane by sending a text message...

BTW they're still encouraging people to keep it on airplane mode.

Just bec the FAA allows it, does not mean the airlines will allow it. I think its going to take some time.

I was told by a private pilot that the issue with cell phones has more to do with the FCC.  When a phone Is up in the air it communicates with multiple towers at once, thereby clogging the system.  It makes sense, and AFAIK, airplanes use radio communication,  not cellular.  The two should not interfere.
