4/22 Do they allow laptops on airplanes? can I use one when it is in
the air?
\_ yes, but they have this ridiculous rule about not allowing
them to be used in takeoff or landing. they also have a
stupid rule not allowing radio recievers during flight since
they might "disrupt" radio communications and cause a plane
to fall out of the sky. obviously the faa doesn't know the
first thing about electrical engineering. either that or
they're just assuming that most flight attendants are too
stupid to distinguish between an fm radio and a bomb
\_ this stupid rule of theirs has always pissed me off
\_ Yeah, not crashing the plane or delaying take off
because every fucking idiot insists that *his* 2-way radio
is airplane safe is really stupid. Grow up.
\_ Yes. Why dont you call your airline and ask to make sure?
\_ Yes they do, but they ask you not to use CD/DVD drives. -John |
