Makes you wonder what the real reason is for turning off your phones. Maybe to force you to use the planes pay phones? Hmmmm.
pretty common to have radio go haywire and static from a cell phone signal nearby,
most electronics leak some signal,
even if 1 in a million chance your cell will interfere
i dont want to be on the plane with that yahoo who didnt feel the need to turn off his/her cell because mythbusters told him it was ok.
