The stuff about what can go on an airplane, and the roles of the TSA vs the FAA vs the flight crew, I get from directly asking the agencies involved, and from reading their written policies. It comes up a lot for folks who want to travel with guitars, so I've spent some time on the phone to Washington.
Was there something incorrect about what I've passed on? Please let me know.
As for the effect of RF from consumer devices on airplanes, I simply hold the opinion that it's best to follow the rules of the authorities rather than each individual deciding for themselves if the rule is stupid and to be ignored. Until someone shows me that the authorities involved have acted negligently or incompetently, I'll probably stand by that position.
