You mean you have been blessed with magical powers that allow you to avoid any flight with a screaming baby? A small child that doesn't stop talking loudly the entire flight? A sleeper snoring so loudly their seat shakes? A couple of people who strike up a loud and apparently hilarious (to them) conversation that lasts the entire flight? An MP3 listener DVD watcher who has the volume turned up so loud that you can hear the music blasting out of their headphones three seats away? I'd love to know how you got those powers because I fly approximately once a week for business all over the country on many different airlines, and I'd pay dearly for those powers. Really, Professor?

God forbid that cell phone screamers will be imposed on us. But, if so, cell phone users need to be segregated and they need to pay more for their tickets. Why should the rest of us pay mega $$ to listen to someone else's conversation. Conversation is the only sound on airplanes that makes it impossible to read, grade papers, write papers, or sleep.
