FCC Commissioners The Federal Communications Commission RE: Docket 04-435 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners , I am writing to voice my concerns about the FCC's proposal to relax the restrictions on the use of cell phones on airplanes in flight. The last thing I want to hear on a plane is 25 people talking on the phone. Many people work, read, watch movies and sleep during plane rides. I think that cell phone usage is annoying and would disrupt flights. There is no hard evidence that cell phone use doesn't interfere with navigational instruments. The introduction of cell phone use in the cabin will not only increase tension among passengers, it will compromise flight attendants' ability to maintain order in an emergency. Cell phone use could also enable terrorists to coordinate a plan of action more effectively. Please leave the current rules in effect. Sincerely, Susan McAllister 3028 W.
