Do u think that Cell phones should be banned on airplanes?

Question

I just read that they are going to ban cell phones on airplanes because it unsafe and annoying to other people. I think if its unsafe then yes, but if it just annoys people they shouldn't because I am sure their are a lot of other things that annoys people as well, maybe we should ban people who snore when they sleep, LOL. I just think its dumb that u would ban a cell phone just because its annoying to other people. Hmmm speaking of cell phone.. should they write ticket to the 9/11 victims who used their cell phones to call their loved ones as they were about to DIE?? Come on people think. Just wondering what everyone else thinks.. THANKS

Answer 1

1 No-- It's not unsafe because cell phone signals don't interfere with communication electronics

#2 Yes-- It disturbs everyone else on the plane, imagine having 300 people on the plane, and 200 of them are yakking away next to you while you're trying to sleep

#3 Yes-- Cell phone broadcasting towers take a lot of the load sending signals to cell phones traveling at high velocities, so it's bad for cell phone companies.

Your point is moot, 9/11 was obviously an isolated case.  So "writing tickets" to 9/11 victims isn't even a valid argument.  It was an emergency.  Everything is different during emergencies.  Maybe you should try rethinking your argument over.

So yes, I think there are more pros than cons to making cell phone calls on the plane, it should stay banned.  But this usually only applies for inflight/during flight anyway.  Everyone on the plane, including myself, seem to make calls before takeoff, and after landing.

Answer 2

You're a little late. Cell phone use on planes has been banned for years.

Answer 3

Why do we need to carry cell phones everywhere we go? It's almost like you're gonna have a heart attack and die if you don't have it with you everywhere. Do people use it in the bathroom? Seriously, you don't NEED a d**n cell phone on a plane. If you wanna talk, do it before boarding or once you get to your destination. Why is that so hard?

9-11 is in the past. The law today is different from the ones of yesterday, should we dig up all the bodies of people who died back then what should not be done today and shove them in a jail cell? Is that even logical?

AND you can't compare idiots who are calling to talk about every second of the plane ride with the people in a plane that was HIJACKED! Because that's what they do, and there are NO EMERGENCIES UNLESS YOU'RE BEING HIJACKED BUT WOULD YOU CALL YOUR FRIEND OR THE d**n COPS? Wake up! They aren't in any emergency. Get a clue and realize there is a HUGE difference.

People need to learn to read (books on planes) or have other hobbies (crosswords, coloring books, diary, even taking pictures below) that don't involve talking to others on the phone at every waking moment. That's just stupid and yes, very annoying!

Snoring is a natural thing that those who do it can't stop for you, while you can shut off your phone if you cared about the others. Should a smoker be allowed to blow smoke in a child's face just because he feels that if the kid's not happy, he/she can move somewhere else? That's not nice, for a child or an adult. Grow up!
