Relax dude..its coming just have patience

First , remember the weight of responsiblity between you as an individual and the FAA as a regulation body for the entire nation. You sound flustered that cell phones are not already allowed on planes and state that in your experience you have prove that cell phones don't cause interference issues with medical equipment.

Well consider that the navigational and electrical systems of a multi-million dollar, 2-300 passenger commercial jetliner is a tad more complicated than a heart monitor or dialysis machine. Therefore they just want to be extra cautious with their testing, and I'm glad they are.

Secondly, when hundreds of lives are at stake and multiple brands (and types of equipment) -- cellphones, palm pilots, laptops, etc. etc. AND then on top of that we have the knowledge that its a GOVERNMENT agency that is in charged with regulating all that stuff.

Are you really all that surprised it has taken this long?
