Tsa has nothing to do with inflight device policy.  That is FAA)

And the people from TSA *use* PDAs (that just sounds funny....) so they should 
know better.  But I agree, I would probably act innocently stupid - 'but this 
isn't a Blackberry, it's my MP3 player & my inflight magazine'.  Which would be 
the truth.

Just wanted to remind you that while I agree, the nice people on the 
plane are not electronics people, nor do they set policy.  I'm not sure 
you should expect a coherent response.  I'm not even sure you have the 
right to expect anything other than a polite response.

Keep in mind that their real job is boarding passengers, handing out 
peanuts or non-peanut food products, and doing incredibly brave things 
in bad situations.  I'm guessing they don't have a ton of time to debate 
the relative merits of PDAs, laptops, cel phones, and limburger cheese 
in carry-on luggage.


That said, I'd probably (politely) question them too.


Of course your first obstacle will be getting past the TSA.  If someone 
with a similar name is on the no-fly list, you're screwed twelve ways 
from Sunday.  And there's no way to fix it.
