Just passed the transportation committee and headed for the House floor...HANG UP...Halting Airplane Noise to Give Us Peace. This gem will ban use of all cell phone communication while in flight, even though we all know that it is perfectly safe. Flight crews will be exempt from this legislation.

There is NO limit to the amount of control that our elected masters wish to submit us to.

NO CITIZEN!!! YOU CAN NOT TALK TO YOUR FAMILY OR YOUR BUSINESS WHILE YOU ARE FLYING!!!

dumb*** fools!

I sit next to rude people in restaurants who yak on their phone quite loudly. People yak on line at the store and I have to hear it. People even talk on their phone at the movies. Personally, the thought of sitting next to someone talking loudly on their phone while I'm confined for hours in the seat next to them is not very appealling to me.

If I was allowed take that phone and shove it up his/her ass then I'd say we don't need laws like this. Until then, we shouldn't give people who have no respect for my personal space any more opportunities to invade it.

Well...If you have a problem with your neighbors loud music or barking dog...Are you going to be a snitch and call the cops?...or are you going to go over and try to work out a solution to the problem?....Same thing with your seat neighbor on a aircraft....OK!!..Lets just get the government to settle every problem for us!.....I read post after post from conservatives like you on this board afraid of Obama and his silly ass socialist policies...and yet YOU want the government to regulate free speech?...Damn!!!

You don't want people taking this into their own hands....

There are enough dumbasses on planes who can't seem to get through security, board when their number is called, store their carry-ons. What makes you think they can be reasoned with?

I'm with smn1256. If they don't pass this, I might just beat someone's ass.

I bet Fo would be a good neighbor

Even if it is legal for people to talk on cell phones during flight, there is no reason to believe that all of the airlines would allow it. It is still within their rights to dan the use for the comfort of their passengers. If I remember correctly, many business travellers, the lifeblood of the airline industry, are opposed to allowing cell phones during flight.

Fo, I understand what you're getting at but some people just don't care about whose live's they intrude upon - it's all about them and everyone else can screw themselves. if people behaved rationally then we wouldn't need nanny laws like this.

I think that McCain guy was right. Americans are a bunch of whiners.

What ever happened to telling someone to shut up? I'm glad every other problem that is plaguing Americans has been solved so we can move on to telling people they can't make cell phone calls, or FOR HEAVENS SAKE, text message while walking.


Nanny Gub'ment will take care of us all!

I have absolutely no problem with an airline banning anything on their flights...If I dont like their polices..I will go and do business with another competing company. Thats the free market.

I know all my neighbors very well and have never had a seconds trouble with any of them. If a problem pops up...I act like an adult and sit down and have a chat about it over a cocktail. I expect them to do the same with me.

I damn sure dont call the "authorities" on my neighbors.

America has become "scared" nation. We cant even ask a guy next to us on a plane to 86 the cellphone and respect others because we are scared of what might happen. I dont give a damn..Im not scared. If you sit next to me and act like a ass..Ill say something.

Why should we have to ask for respect?

A person who would use a cell phone on a plane is probably a very arrogant person thinking his sh*t doesn't stink.

People in general DO act rationally and respect each other. I rarely encounter otherwise. The power to CONTROL the actions of others by our elected masters is the basis for most of these silly ass laws. Im perfectly capable of interaction with my neighbor without mommy governments watchful eye. Id prefer that government leave me alone and allow me to live my life without its monopoly of violence.

Fo, where do you live because I'd like to join you there. Here in So Cal we are home to the rudest, self centered bunch of people who care not one iota whose lives they intrude upon with their loud car music, mufflers, cell phones, etc.

Southeastern NC....Oh dont be fooled we have that too. But I have to say in general not to a large degree. I will say though that there is still a sense of neighborhood and community here. Ive been to LA and SD and know what you are talking about...It seems that way in metro areas. Here in Charlotte and the Triangle area the same things are occuring.
