Hall: Snakes Better Than Cell Phones

When it comes to flying, we all probably prefer snakes on a plane to something even worse that is now being dangled before us. I speak of phones on a plane - cellphones. A couple of rattlesnakes and a cobra or two are a minor irritation by comparison with phones on a plane. The possibility of permitting passengers to use their phones up there in the sky tends to pit them against each other in deciding whether telephones are a socially practical idea. If permission is given, we may learn that all phones are not-so-smart phones when it comes to making a call from the middle seat while sitting between two people who dislike listening to an electronic loudmouth/ Bill Hall , Lewiston Tribune.

Question: Do you think it would be a good idea to allow plane passengers to talk on their cell phones during flights?
