This could be good news, or it could be bad news: Apparently the FAA has lifted is inflight, all-the-time ban on electronic devices.
While you still need to pay attention to the flight crew, it’s soon going to be perfectly okay to mess with your electronic gizmos at all times while you fly. You can clutch them in your hands during take off and landing, but probably won’t have to power them down.
The ban extends on using cellular devices to make phone calls and access the mobile data network. But using Bluetooth or keeping an iPod on while the flight takes off or lands is apparently okee doke.
Various airlines will implement the new rules at different times. Of course, I’ll need to update my books.
