This scanner thing might be possible technically, but not possible to implement in the organizational structure the flight crew is working.
"Please Ladies and Gentleman, someone in this row might have a PED operating. Please stand-up so our lovely flight attendant can help you switch off the device. " No it's not the kindle, but may be your galaxy or your camera, oh no is can see, it's your Ipad. And that for 40 rows on a total of 80 or so. Just before takeoff.. " Sorry ladies and gentleman, but our flight has delayed another 10 minutes because on row 57 a operating PED has been detected." Or while landing: " Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your Captain speaking; normally we would have landed on Luton Airport. Unfortunately our scanner has detected a working Personal Electronic Device, so we have to postpone our landing for 34 minutes. Please be patient while our crew throws the owner out of the window..." And after a few tries: ....captain speaking: In spite of a potential interference problem with one of the passengers Personal Electronic Devices operating, due to lack of fuel we are obliged now to initiate a possible failing landing procedure Please adopt the official crash position as instructed...brace brace" Gert Gremmen -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Namens John Woodgate Verzonden: maandag 19 maart 2012 18:12 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: Re: [PSES] New immunity testing by the FAA in the future?

Sure, that's why I wrote: The 'detector' would need to be a scanner, to get enough signal-to-noise ratio. I should think scanners these days are quite reliable and not too costly. How about 1 per row, rather than 1 per aisle seat? -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
