Lame,
A confirmation by Siemens.........manufacturer of mobile phones.
What else are they gonna say? It's in their interest to say that.
Sort of like Monsanto Chemicals saying genetically modified canola is completely safe. Trouble is, they are the ones that created the GM seeds and have a monopoly. Stuff the farmers on adjacent properties whose crops get contaminated by the GM crap.[/rant]
No, the use of phones on planes is banned because they disrupt mobile networks on the ground. An airliner with 500 phones on board, whizzing across a city, can befuddle a mobile network as the phones busily hop from one base-station to the next.

Next we'll be finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
