Once played, the Safety card is hard to disregard

I have often questioned the Safety issue of using Mobiles in different environments. In Petrol Stations they are banned in case they start a fire. However even after it was categorically proven that you cannot start a petrol fire from the signal of even the most powerful mobile phone, they still stay banned "because of the fire risk"

Aircraft would have been the same i guess except that money overides safety concerns.

Why don't we just be honest, ban the bl**dy things because they are so annoying. Make the SLF stand on the wing if they want to make a call.

And why dont security ban them, after all more than one person has been assasinated with a mobile phone that went bang. Ahhhh money again....
