Good luck with that one. "Changing the regulation" means that all electronics will be banned from in-flight use entirely. And more groping, just for good measure.

It's been decades since the airline industry has done anything right, and the incompetence has only accelerated in the 2000s with the introduction of the TSA. Semi-appropriate comic (link NSFW due to language. You've been warned!).

Oh wait, did I just derail the thread into TSA hate? Is this a new Godwin corollary?
