Mobile phone calls will be allowed on planes flying in European airspace
under new European Commission rules.
The decision means that mobiles could be used once a plane has reached an
altitude of 3,000m or more.

I guess that planes won't crash now due to mobile phone
intereference....


That's a risk when the other passengers riot trying to throttle the
morons using them on planes.
