I thought the aviation industry was still claiming that use of radio-transmitting devices in-flight were a serious safety threat to the plane and passengers. So much for that one?
Your passports will be checked as get on the plane, and off of the plane, Citizen. RFID's just make it easier for us.
On another note, I've never gotten the radio interference thing. Planes are bombarded with all kinds of radio waves all the time, including cell towers. I just always thought it more a revenue protection thing, at least as far as phones go, so you have to pay the exorbitant air phone charges. LH already showed us that WiFi signals won't hurt the plane.
I think a lot of those restrictions would go away once they find a way to make money off of it. Then again, you could be conspiring with a terrorist on the ground, so that may not happen.
