Cell phone use on planes, back in the news again thanks to our friends at QC. You knew they'd find a used for Globalstar eventually. At least the real reason (which I gave up trying to convince the person sitting next to me of some 10 years ago) is not what they tell you. As reported in today's SD Union
Despite the well-known warnings to passengers, the real reason cell phones are banned from planes is that they can jam cellular towers on the ground. A cell phone signal from thousands of feet above ground can be picked up by dozens of towers, causing them to block or drop calls from other callers.

Great. Now, instead of hearing the hum of the engines while my neighbors read books, I will be surrounded by idiots on their phones. I can't wait.
