Question

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has considered lifting the ban on in-flight cell phone use. This could allow people to have conversations on their cell phones during plane flights. Give your opinion. Should the FCC allow in-flight calls? Why or why not?

Answer 1

I would say that there shouldn't be any calls on a plane while in-flight because you never know what someone is calling for. It can lead to a bad situation like 9/11 or any form of terrorism. 

Answer 2

Oh please ! Imagine trying to read or sleep while the yo-yo next to you or across the aisle is yammering incessantly at the top of his lungs. It would be like a screaming baby kicking the back of your seat, ALL flight and EVERY flight.

Besides ... the cellular system is designed to provide coverage on the ground, not in the air. I think every call you made from an airliner would drop in a minute ar two.

There's no right or wrong answer to a "should" question. My humble OPINION is: Please, not until Satan's inferno freezes over !
