In-Flight Cell Phone Calls Banned by Congress
It is going to be a bit confusing for the international traveller. In Europe, cell phone use in flight is allowed. The United States Congress, however, has banned similar cell phone use:
“…the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved by voice vote a bill that would make the current Federal Aviation Administration and Federal Communication Commission ban on cell phone use during flight permanent.”

One point that was raised is that cell phone cameras could breach flight security. Pictures of the air craft could fall into the wrong hands. That would mean that all cameras should be banned. And how many of us have taken that obligatory ‘out-the-aircraft-window’ photo? It seems that now so many every day activities are a threat to national security. Everyone is suspect.
