"Airplane Mode" can get you in trouble

[ghengis]

if you have iphone and anyother bb device then you already know about the 'airplane mode". And now you can be in trouble if you are using this while flight in session. ATA Airlines made a funny situation recently when a flight attendant asked a passenger to turn his iPhone off mid-flight. The passenger replied by attempting to explain that his iPhone was in airplane mode, and thus all wireless radios had been disabled. The flight attendant would have none of this, however, and continued to insist that the man shut his device off. Things got a bit heated, and the police were called to meet the plane at the gate. After determining that the man was correct (as well as determining that the flight attendant was insane….she stated that the plane "wasn’t shielded for any type of electronic device) the 5-0 let the passenger go. I woud say just watch for those smart flight attendances.
