Discuss.

Ummm. Probably not justified.

Damn, someone who figured it out without a lot of hoopla. *

But... what if they're actually calling the phone connected to a bad
thing in their check bag?

Good luck, since the aircraft skin and interior deck would provide a very
effective faraday shield against any sort of radio transmission.

In theory. *But my phone works quite well before we pull away from the
gate.

Yep, but I bet you're not sitting in the cargo deck.

There is a minor difference between the cargo deck and the passenger deck..
Specifically windows.

Good point.

Further
cargo loaded on passenger aircraft is all pre-screened for explosives and
thus it would be hard to get such a device in place.

Inside job.

Doesn't matter, you still would have to get such a device through multiple
levels of security, and so on.

Further, if such a device could be planted, then wouldn't that be the person
you would want to shoot.....not some idiot on a cell phone?

Well of course, but the guy on the phone for GP.

Further assuming a
device is in place...why would you need to 'contact' it with your cell
phone
anyway?

That's obvious. *You wish to communicate with it.

To do what? Make it blow up? That's about the only communication you would
need and as said that could be handled by the device itself given timers and
a few sensors.

There is very little you can done from your phone that could be done
remotely via timers and various types of sensors.

Phone works, too.

Not into a cargo hold it doesn't.

I don't know. Haven't been in the belly of a plane since the AF, and
I didn't have a cell phone then.
