Maybe not in so many words...


I totally and true believe that electronics do not cause any interference in the real world, but I guess in one lab test under specific circumstances on a Tuesday night with a full moon and temperatures below 43 degrees the FAA noticed a voltage spike of negligible amounts and freaked out and passed an all encompassing rule.

I usually never turn my phone off during a flight and I continue to exist and exit planes....
