As expected, the FAA advisory committee has recommended that airline passengers should be “allowed to use smartphones, tablets, e-readers and other personal electronic devices during takeoffs and landings”. That means, yes, we can finally use our damn (innocent) electronic devices while on an airplane without looking like a criminal.
Under the recommendations, passengers would be able to use most devices, although some would have to be switched to airplane mode. Downloading data, surfing the Web and talking on the phone would still be prohibited. But people could still read e-books, listen to music, watch movies, play games and do work.
Welcome to the future, flying.
