Actually, there was a very specific incident where somebody brought a television on a plane in order to see something important. We're talking 1950-1960 timeframe and and a tube-television. Apparently this disturbed something in the cockpit, but there is no evidence to indicate that it was actually a problem in the cockpit, only that they spotted some kind of noise. And that's when and why the FAA introduced the ban. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
