Ahh but do the US political 'Puppet heads' know the difference between anything about Aircraft at all?
I bet they can't even tell an Airbus from a Boeing.
The man in the street can.....

Can't fix stupid - I agree. But come on, lap dances in the cockpit? Crap, can you wheel those down to F or J?
Oops, lap tops? Sorry guys!

Don't even have to bother with the last, read the first paragraph!
Race to the bottom for the dumbest PPRuNer 
A US senator is seeking a law banning computer laptops and other personal electronic devices in airline cockpits to prevent pilots becoming distracted.
More fierce competition in the race to be the dumbest US senator.
That will be interesting for those who use the Boeing, Airbus, Jeppesen etc Laptop paperless flight deck!

What are you gonna do, about it?
What are you gonna do about it?
We've been witnessing the dismay of the professional pilots pride (all over the world but, especially in the US). What are you waiting for? That, because accidents happen, one of your senators proposes a law to forbid air shows?
As a matter of fact, we're becoming an aseptic society where "everything" is forbidden and where there is no more freedom of choice nor a slight taste for adventure...I think our parents were happier than we are...
"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

If American politicians are anything like British ones, any professional (eg a respected senior pilot) who gives advice that doesn’t fit in with the government’s pre-conceived ideas faces not just being ignored but being SACKED.
