From 1: 'But there are certainly cases where cell phones pose a definite threat, and that’s been tested and documented.'

Oh dear... you do know all this about mobile phones being used on a plane is bullshit. Right?
Using a mobile phone on a plane will make no difference to their radio communications and will not endanger the plane.
I've used it quite a few times. I am still here.
They "posed" threats. Past tense. A long time ago, when phones were analogue, they really did pose threats. But the recent discussions about it showed that interference DID happen, but not to a dangerous enough scale. It only affected the machine slightly when the phone was in 3 feet of it.apollo_fi wrote:

From 2: 'Therefore, FDA recommends that clinicians and other device users ... consider preventing known sources of interference (e.g., cellular phones, hand-held transceivers) from coming too close to patient monitors and other sensitive electronic medical devices.'
3 misquotes its source.
It's not enough just to Google it, friend. Some reading comprehension is required, too.
You seemed to insist, originally, that it's perfectly safe to use mobile phones in hospitals. Period.Zimmer wrote:
Now do you understand why I was posting that content? It was because I have no intentions of going into a patients room and phoning someone. Who would?
That's how I look at it as well.apollo_fi wrote:

IMO, 'erring on the side of caution' is the responsible option, when dealing with things that pose even a remote danger to other people's health or lives.
I sure hope I get on a flight with you.apollo_fi wrote:
Hi.
Here's a big, royal Fuck You to all the idiots who disobey safety regulations in airplanes and hospitals.
I do not want to travel with you, and I do not want you to visit a hospital where someone I care about is being treated.
Thanks.
I got to say that I agree with youDr.PhiL wrote:

It's still forbidden to have it turned on (online or offline) during take off or landing.suomalainen_äijä wrote:

so how come the newest phones have this mode if you're not even allowed to keep your cell phone turned on in a plane? I don't get it.

I was reading the plane crash thread and just remembered something:
I was on a HORRIBLE flight from Baltimore to Kansas City one time, I mean we were in some kind of freak storm that came out of nowhere, couldn't get over it, around it, or under it, and we were all strapped in, INCLUDING the staff, and I shit you not (I was in the very back row) the stewardess was sitting in that little chair they have in the back galley crying like a baby, and so was the male steward with her. They thought we were going down. I've never been in anything like it.
Anyway, it just occured to me that I have the answer to this question. The pilot actually got on the speaker after telling us earlier "we're clearly in a very serious situation here", and said "if you feel like you need to contact loved ones I'm going to allow the use of cellular phones".
I had forgotten about that.
When he said that I went into a straight fucking full-on panic. I can't believe he was that fucking stupid to say that. I mean at that point we were all pretty damned sure we were going to die. I'm sure he was trying to be a nice guy be Jesus Christ what a way to panic the passengers.
So, anyway, I guess that answers the question. They've got to be okay or dude wouldn't have told us we could use them in the middle of the wost friggin flight of all time.
