Scanners on Airliners?
May seem like a dumb question, but, what is the official deal regarding SCANNERS (not Tx, just Rx), like a hobby uniden scanner or something - on an airliner?
For eg, can I program relevant freq on scan, pop it in my bag with headphones on, and listen to a/c and atc chatter on my flight?
Im assuming some law somewhere will say you cant, BUT thought I would check anyway!!

Same as any other electronic device. Off for take off and landing.
Best check with the respective airlines.

but no transmit or reception functions are allowed.... so negates the exercise.
I did enjoy the function with United on a domestic flight where one of the radio channels was the of the IFE was linked to Comm 1 on the flight deck. Chicago Ground was intense, I don't think there was any readback and the controller did not appear to breath between instructions

Does that mean that the flight attendant I saw on the Qantas A380 using a remote control car driving around the kitchen area wasn't doing the right thing? Heaven forbid!
(Kitchen? couldn't think of the right word)
