Allowing cel phones on planes could lead to violence. I hope it's never permitted except perhaps via some sound proof enclosure.

The cell phone curse is all around me when I am out and about. You see/hear them at the Mall, Restaurants, while driving, movie theaters, gas stations, at airports. Having them on airplanes in flight is just another place without refuge. The younger generation seems to believe that the need to answer a cell phone call in a theater or restaurant always overrides others right to privacy or quiet.

In one respect, I suppose a person talking on a cell phone is not much different than a person talking to another person in the same location, except that the conversation always seems to be more noticeable. Aside from that many restaurants now insist on having TVs on (usually on sports) encouraging more noise.

Technology is great, but people are generally less polite, more aggressive and show less respect for others. Manners are a thing of the past.
