If planes are still affected that way, getting into one is suicide ! You can't count on people switching their devices... Portable devices are way more common than they where back in 1993. And with wi-fi and all, probably can emmit more EM...

YES but Any wire of any kind, with power from any source, that completes a circuit RADIATES, on what frequency or at what power level isn't relevent, Fact is it CAN cause interference, it can block proper operation of any system POSSIBLY ! and that's the point, the potential problem, Do you really want to fly knowing your putting the aircraft at lower level of safety JUST because you DON'T want to switch off for a few minutes at each end of your journey ?


Personally, it won't kill me to wait a few minutes, oh and when I was on an aircraft when one of it's systems failed(Reason Unknown BTW), It landed perfectly safely, BUT again, do you want to ROLL the dice on your next flight ? ..... Not me Thank's !

In the end lets not pretend this is anything to do with human rights, this is "I can't be bothered" and "No one tells me what to do, REGARDLESS ! "
come on people just Switch Off it isn't going to hurt !
