There are already two airlines in Europe testing full cellphone services on passenger aircraft. Various airlines around the world are now considering the same service. The FAA and other agencies are still in the process of working out the bugs so that passengers can use all the features of their phones to make and receive calls. Cell phones, as is well known, are used by terrorists as remote triggers to detonate bombds -- used in Madrid in 2004, and almost daily in Iraq, Afghanistan etc to detonate IEDs.
So, what is being done to make sure, absolutely, that no terrorist can ever use a cell phone to detonate a bomb on a plane?
