Hi all,

Have a question. While this is probably not just a DL question, since it happened on DL, I thought I may ask it here. About a month ago we were sitting at CVG for 3 hours in the plane waiting to be deiced. While they allowed the use of the cell phones, laptop use wheren't allowed. Just out of curiosity, I asked a FA to explain the reason for this, and she gave me "FAA regulation" answer. I thought to ask the pros here on this forum. Why laptop use is not allowed while the plane is still on the ground? Is there a security concern. I figured since cell phones are allowed, laptops should be allowed as well...

Thanks in advance for your answers.
