Could warn of terrorist attacks

Does this mean I can keep my cellphone on in the plane? Or will they call the phone in the seat in front of me? *\;-)
 

No, they won't allow you to use your cellphone on the plane because to do so would be to acknowledge that they have have been lying to us for all this time about the 'dangers' of using cellphones on planes.   What they will most likely do is add some fine print to your ticket, saying that in the event of any activation of the National EBS system, the Airphone service for your plane seat will be activated and your Master Charge will be billed the usual $9.00  per minute charge, plus a service fee of course.  Enjoy your flight   :-)

Cellphones do interfere with plane fly-by-wire systems.
