Should In-Flight Cellphone Use Be Banned by Law?
Check out the debate in this week's U.S. News Weekly
A bill in Congress would bar in-flight cellphone use, declaring it a danger and a nuisance. But critics point to Europe, where some airlines allow phones, and argue that what works over there will work over here. Should in-air cellphone use be prohibited aboard American carriers? Post your thoughts, and don't forget to check out the Two Takes debate in the latest issue of U.S. News Weekly.

Cell phones on airliners
Absolutely not! No way!
Just say NO to cell phones
Cell phones have totally invaded our lives and have created a new "Culture of Rudeness" that is just plain dangerous (people yacking away while driving, walking, ect). For centuries we did just fine without the darned things. I am 44 years old, college educated, and a military retiree. I had a cell phone for a few months, but I found myself so disgusted with other peoples rudeness in their usage of the devices that I stopped using my phone, and turned it into a recycling center.
My vote is absolutely NO to in-flight voice communications.
no No NO!!! It is time to say no to the cell phone madness
There isn't a single good reason for cell phones to be available in flight. This is one time when Congress is right to regulate.
