So the primary reason for this ban is nothign to do witih communication or interference, it's just some notion that if cell phones were allowed on flights it would be annoying to the people around you? This is why the judiciary should abandon the "rational basis" approach to evaluating legislation (i.e. you don't have to actually justify your laws/rules) in favor of something where the government has to make the case that something should be banned for a specific reason.
Regulating the social norms of airline behavior is not the job of the FCC, and it astonishes me that anyone thinks otherwise just because the FCC happens to have some power over one lever to control this.
