I'm not a fan of "turn off all electronics" policy either, but your statement is just plain silly.
- mmariani 14y agoDid you read the article? They cite reliable sources that say this ban on electronics on airliners is nothing but baloney. Anyway, I'm honestly curious... Where's your favorite place, under your bed?
- polyfractal 14y agoDid you read my comment? "I used an iPad and I'm still alive!" is just about the worst argument possible (for anything), for similar reasons that saying an asteroid won't destroy the earth because it hasn't yet is a terrible argument. It had nothing to do with the article (which I read) and my personal opinions (which, you'll notice in my comment, I express agreement with the article). This is just turning pedantic now, so apologies. I should have just down-voted your comment instead of replying.
