Mega Robo Thunder Phone Query - Cell Phones On Planes?

Emirates Airlines is preparing to outfit all their planes with technology that would enable in-air cell phone use.

Is this a good idea or a bad idea?

  Cellphones on airplanes??? Oh, HELL NO! Don't we get enough incessant psychobabble from cellphone users on the ground and now they're invading the last known refuge of peace and quiet (besides a library)? This is *beyond* a bad idea!

  I heard about these things from a user on the "Wired" postings; you're probably going to hear a lot more about these items once in-flight cellphone usage takes root in the States:

  There *is* a solution after all!

  I hope this doesn't catch on in the states, but it seems like it's inevitable.  Thanks, Ohmboy, for the website link to the cell-phone jammer!  

  Hopefully airlines have the foresight to see people buying those things if they start allowing cell phones.  I'd rather enjoy the peace & quiet- Thank you very much...

  Yeah, not a good idea!!! I mean I have a cell phone and it's always with me, but I realize how silly it is that we're all obsessed with being constantly in touch with everyone, in every way. Everyone should just watch Into the Wild and then they won't care about their cell phone on the planes...just a thought.
