AP: FAA to study use of electronics on flights
As the thread title says, here is an AP article about the FAA giving consideration to passengers' use of electronics on flights. But no decision is expected before March.

Just as long as they don't allow people to make calls from their cell phones, this is a good move by the FAA.

Hate to tell you, but airlines have been testing in-air cell phone service for several years now.
