Thank you Stepwilk! My sentiments exactly!

Another twist on the cell phone usage:This actually comes from the cell phone companies petitioning the FCC. A cell phone at altitude, can strike several cell towers, set miles apart, simultaneously. This causes a bit of a problem for cell companies to bill calls and track them.Hence the "electronic interference" red herring.Of course, aircraft manufacturers will also tell you that thay have done testing and there is a "possibilty" of interference with the highly digital cockpits today.
Every conspiracy in not necessarily a theory.
