yup..all you need is your n900 or neo...
thing is 'tween the entertainment vid panels and the wifi allowance you just mentioned Dave...
The safety and security issues really ..ultimately ...
center upon "customer convenience" ...
if passengers wish to tamper with a privilege to the catastrophe of all on board ....
the airlines will take the privilege away.
The "right" to surf ...the "right" to make a personal call inflight...the "right" to browse and watch a film or news or music...
isn't a right...it's a privilege ..
if people are going to mess with the mechanics of the plane because they can...
the airlines will take the ability away.
No different than the screening they do now pre-flight...
those who want to make trouble end up getting a shot at it once..
then the process to fly becomes more restrained and uncomfortable for everyone.
