Should Congress Ban Mobile Phone Calls on US Flights?
Europe may be ok with passengers making in-flight calls on their mobile phones, but at least a few members of Congress have the foresight to see how this situation could become problematic in the US. A new bill has been introduced that promises to ban mobile phone calls on US flights, but not text messaging and web surfing. The bill has yet to be passed, but the question is: Do you support a ban?

Hell yes! Cell phone usage should be banned. The last thing I need is some inconsiderate a-hole shouting into his phone when everyone is trying to sleep saying “Isn’t this cool! I can talk to you on a plane when everyone is asleep!”
At first I thought just ban voice and allow sms but thinking of some of the shitty text alert tones and how inconsiderate people can be I say just keep it banned altogether. After all, what potential life threatening situations have we encountered not being able to call while in the air? I say let them wait until they are on the ground.
The only pro argument I can think of is that if the plane is in a deathly nose dive then you may want to call your loved ones to say goodbye. Maybe you should just keep em guessing.
