Transmitters in Planes
I might be (and probably am) wrong, but I thought the justification of outlawing transmitters in planes is that the EM radiation has the potential to induce currents in nearby coiled wires. Since so much of the wiring in a plane exists possibly only inches away from a cell-phone using passenger, its just not a risk the airline is willing to take.
Bubba's idea does have some merit, but if that were true, wouldn't you see some airlines screwing cell-phone companies and allowing the convenience of using cellphones in their planes?
