Why exactly are you not allowed to use a notebook computer during take-
off and landing? The radio power emitted by a notebook should be too

If they want you to put everything away and store all your stuff under
you seat, why would they then allow you to hold a piece of hardware on
your lap? It may be thrown around in turbulance and hurt someone.


Everything has to be stowed as not to become a deadly flying object in the
event of an accident. The crazy part is, you can have an infant on your
lap.


Don't worry about the infant, watch out for disposable pampers.
