"Potatoes, mash em, boil em, improves reception too!"
In flight internet is really expensive. Three dollars for fifteen minutes.
Ha! (you mean the same guy who does it now to us at the airport, eh?)
ha!
we surely have to find a way to get rid of this horrible airport mess (and especially the groping and xrays)
We live on the edge of a spudtacular new future and the deep fryer on the bottom of the fiscal cliff. Has a whole new spudtrum of WiFi has opened? Some might call it.. WiFry. Has Obama claimed credit yet?

My first thought was, the potatoes are being used as some new kind of antenna to pull in the otherwise spotty signals on high-altitude flights, much like they absorb microwaves in microwave ovens.
But then, wouldn’t they just explode, unless a number of fork-punctures were put in them first?
I wish I’d read the article before I piled last night’s leftover mashed potatoes on the wireless router. So doesn’t the wife. The dog was pretty happy...
I read the engineers took a vote among themselves as to which vegetable to use. Upon hearing the majority vote for the potatos, the head engineer declared, “The eyes have it, so it is the potatoes”.
Stacks of paper. Like medical charts and books will wipe out a WiFi signal as well. I’ve had to put TWO APs in a single room before because of this.
Don’t tell Eric Holder that potatoes have some characteristics similar to humans — he’ll automatically register all potatoes to vote!
>>It turns out that potatoes – because of their water content and chemistry – absorb and reflect radio wave signals much the same way as the human body does, making them suitable substitutes for airline passengers.<<
To the airlines and the TSA, people make a great substitute for potatoes (and cattle).
membership in his core voting block does not appear to require very many human characteristics.
he will register the potatoes to vote because they reside underground like so many of his voters (Chicago cemeteries...)
