Is that a good idea? Should individuals be able to make cell phone calls inside the cabin—or should the U.S. continue this restriction? A current bill pending in Congress would permanently ban cell phone use on commercial flights. There are those on both sides of this debate who offer conflicting arguments about phone safety at 35,000 feet—and whether in-flight usage presents a nuisance to fellow passengers. <br/><br/> Experts on the "Yes" side: <ul> <li>Association of Flight Attendants </li> <li>Peter DeFazio</li> </ul> Experts on the "No" side: <ul> <li>Inflight Passenger Communications Coalition</li> <li>OnAir</li> </ul> Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:20:07 -0500 http://www.opposingviews.com/questions/should-the-u-s-ban-in-flight-cell-phone-calls http://www.opposingviews.com/questions/who-should-be-the-next-supreme-court-justice After nearly two decades on the bench, Justice David Souter, widely regarded as a surprise liberal, will retire from the Supreme Court in the summer of 2009.

These concerns have spurred social movements and political legislation, but some fear that the rush to save the planet could have a crippling effect on the economy, pointing to the proposed Waxman bill to regulate carbon emissions as a prime example.
