Cruising
|
IMDB rating: 5.90 Plot: Cruising is the fictional account of a series of gruesome killings in modern day New York City. Steve Burns, a “beat” officer still wet behind the ears, is recruited by Captain Edelson of the NYPD Homicide Unit to go undercover in search of the perpetrator. The victims in these killings are all homosexual men known to frequent “Leather,” S&M (Sadism and Masochism), and B&D (Bondage and Dominance) clubs so Burns, in “deep cover,” must mascarade as gay in order to attract the killer. He fits the victims’ profiles: dark hair, dark complexion, dark eyes. Cruising tells the story of his adventures and misadventures in this small subculture of gay society as he searches for the killer. |

Nope. That’s obvious when you pass through security. They won’t allow you to bring anything on board that could possibly pose a hazard. The fact that they don’t care about cell phones tells you they’re harmless.
If there was even the slightest chance of a serious incident occurring because of a cell phone, they wouldn’t be permitted aboard any type of passenger aircraft.

Phones in airplane mode have never caused an accident. Neither have cell phones in non-airplane mode. The only incidents that telephones cause on airplanes are conflicts between crews and passengers.
The regulations against use of cell phones and electronic devices in flight were written at a time when much less was known about their potential risks for aviation. It is fairly clear today that they don’t really present any risks, but the regulations live on, and airlines continue to heed these regulations for the most part. They do violate them in certain ways, as by letting passengers use electronic devices during the cruise portion of flight (technically illegal, but just about all airlines do it).
FYI, airport security cares nothing about flight safety. Their only concern is security, and they aren’t even very good at that. The fact that they let cell phones through doesn’t mean that cell phones are safe on board. As it happens, though, cell phones are indeed safe.
