Even FCC thinks in-flight gadget bans are
dumb
By Adrian Covert
The United States FCC has determined that it is no longer necessary
to ban use of gadgets in-flight. Such gadgets include, but are not limited to,
e-readers, iPads, and other tablets. After numerous testing of gadgets
in-flight, the FCC has no proof that they interfered with on-board instruments,
as airlines have previously stated. Though airlines believed anomalies
occurred, they could never replicate the anomaly in testing. Many airlines are
concerned that gadgets would distract passengers pay attention during flight safety
instructions. However, passengers are allowed to read magazines, books, etc.
during announcements. The FCC recommends that the policy should change, but it
will not happen quickly or overnight.
