FCC votes to consider lifting in-flight cell phone ban

snidely333--"What's the penalty for making a cell phone call on the plane?"-----------You would have to sit between forkush and chilcoot for the duration of the flight. That should discourage anyone from making a cell phone call on an airplane.

And it should be the airline's choice, based on their marketing judgment, not some big government nanny federal intervention like you advocate.

I dunno, lemme consult my alex baldwin 8 ball.

Alex broke a federal rule that cell phones have to be off. Now that there is no federal rule, just an airline policy.

Besides, it's not like you can get a signal at 30k feet anyways. Much ado about nothing.

Are you guys sure you're thinking of Alex Baldwin? I think it might have been Cliff Eastwood.

Or was it Leslie Snipes?

Tim Carrey? Hal Pacino? Riley Cyrus? Donald Schwartzenegger?

How about the airlines have a stick for each flight, you know, that way it can be passed around. Would be popular with the 60's and 70's crowd?
