Good for him! Hope some people were paying attention - although I bet the reporter doing the interview tried to bait him by suggesting his opinion was creating risk and making air travel more vulnerable.

It was CNBC, not MSNBC, my mistake.

Before they ban them, cell phone purchases will be reported to law enforcement:

I could easily get a fake ID, generate a 'social security number' masquerading as a Taxpayer ID number with that fake name as the 'company name', and get cell phone service with any provider by posting a cash deposit. How will those calls be traced to me? Ha! I think not.

Nuts to that! It took them four years to relax the ban on toenail clippers. Four friggin' years!
And you think they have a clue about aviation security up there at TSA headquarters? If so, they do a darn good job of hiding it.
