As one of the self-important phone users who makes his living via cell phone, I love the convenience of calling my ride when I land to better time my airport departure - or just to take a few minutes and go over a few voice mails left for me while I was in flight.

I will, however, personally lead the protest to the steps of the Capitol, if necessary, to stop in-flight cellphone usage. People talk loudly, about unimportant things. And let's face it, my million-dollar deal is important to only one person on that plane - ME. To everyone else, it's more noise in an already noisy world.
