   Isn't it ironic?

   I find it strange that the airlines ban the use of mobile phones, but then provide phones you can use that are outrageously expensive.
   
   I wonder if hotels are going to catch on and claim that the use of cell phones interferes with their reservation computer systems, and you'll only be allowed to use the overpriced phones in your room...

   Right rule, wrong reason

   Personally, it's bad enough to have to sit elbow-to-elbow with the big, smelly stranger for the hours you have to ride in the germ tube. It would be even worse if I had to listen to a coast-to-coast phone call the whole way. I like the rule, no matter what the reason for it. Same thing with banner towing planes over sporting events: it's ridiculous to ban them for terrorist reasons, but I for one am glad they're gone. At best they're annoying, at worst they're dangerous (but for reasons involving the potential for pilot error or mechanical failure, not terrorism.)
