    Sabre has reached the point where he starts making hilarious images before the post he's replying to even happens.

    I'm a Flight Attendant who allows EReader devices at all times on my flights. In fact I just went through another set of annual training and all the Flight Attendants in the class agreed that since they aren't transmitting anything, make no noise, and don't even have a light or anything that they are fine.

    Just wanted to get that out there...

    Oh, while I'm here I'd also like to mention that in one of the Penny Arcade books Tycho mentions that he leaves a book in the seat back pocket after a flight "as if it were garbage." Please don't leave your garbage in seat back pockets after a flight. This is probably the most annoying thing you can do. Why do people think the seat back pocket = garbage can?

    Flight Attendants overriding engineers and science. Yeah, that's a good idea~

    I can't even think of a eBook that doesn't emit a radio freq. of some kind.
    Here is a clue: Can id down load books without being connected to a computer? then it emits a radio freq.
    Does it have GPS? 3/4G? emits a radio freq.
    Does it have electronics? then it emit a radio freq.

    So, you need what to be a flight attendant? PhD? Masters? BS? AA? nothing?

    Your hubris is titanic.

    I paid a lot of money to be in that seat, and one of your tasks is to clean up. Deal.

    Now I will break machinery with my head!

    My mom's a flight attendant, and from what I understand they basically tell you that electronics fuck with the plane because they don't want people talking on their cell-phones during a flight because it's annoying.
    How cute. Let me know hen you talk to someone with a PhD that designs avionic instrumentation.

    Getting Avionic information from a flight attendant is like getting medical advice from a nurse..only worse.

    Now I will break machinery with my head!

    A whole lot of electronics emit radio interference, not just things that are built to transmit/receive. If I fire up my laptop anywhere near my Walkman radio, static and electronic noise totally drowns out the sports radio guys talking.

    ITT flight attendants are retarded monkeys, apparently.
