    The only thing that annoys me about flying is when they ask you to turn off your phone/ computer/ MP3 player before takeoff and landing. Does anyone seriously believe some kid's iPod has the ability to take down a plane?

    • It's called signal cancellation. Two similar waves combine to cancel each other out. Like your cell phone and the plane's radio.xcreonx

    • What about an MP3 player? Surely that can't have an effect?ukit
