I was on a commuter flight recently where a fellow passenger had her nook going the entire time, from closing door at departure to opening it again at arrival. Last week, I cornered an American Airlines pilot, asking point blank, "What exactly do electronics
do to the readings that's so dangerous?" After stalling, he finally admitted "nothing (ever)", adding "They (the FAA) won't allow them because they think there's a chance something
might happen."
