on board electronics
Soon as people travel in big compressed-air bottles full of very sensitive electronics flying several miles above ground at very high speed, I am in favour indeed of not taking ANY chances with ANY electronic equipment regardless of the type.
ALL gizmos sending radio signals and stuff like that should be banned aboard.
OK, Maybe the avionics should maybe be better protected against interferences, but it would be certainly costly.
So when in doubt, abstain.
"ANYTHING that MIGHT cause a problem, even just ONCE, even we are not sure - is BANNED."
Exactly!
As for cell phones... They should be banned not only on aircraft but also on trains, restaurants, cinemas and so on just for being a pain in the rear end.
I took the TGV high speed train from Paris to Geneva last week. Soon as the train departed everybody was on the horn going: "Hullo mom (Or darling, or Maurice..) I'm on the train.. We're leaving the station now... yes.. Nice weather..." and so on. Essential communications..
So I pick up my cell phone and called my friends in Geneva and went (loudly): "Hullo.. I'm in the train right now. We just left the station and I don't have anything special to tell you but they're all on the phone here, busting my b..ls, so I felt like doing same..."
And wouldn't you believe it, converstions dropped to a more bearable level..
Highly recommened. Works in restaurants too..

what interference.!!!!
In the corporate world, if I tried to stop my pax from using the video camera, I would be unemployed very soon.
I also have not crashed yet....perhaps becasue it would have been on tape.
I have set up several cameras in the cockpit, to record several problematic approaches, with three cameras......
Also several mobiles still powered up, (perhaps even one of my three).
Our tubes are smaller and thinner than your tubes...so I dispute the logic of interference....
We even have a microwave on board, (JAA) and no warning not to use on approach. (normal domestic 110V microwave).....
