well i figure that if it dose'nt mess things up and the person can use it, then why not no where you are? sighted folks like to no where they're yet even if they ar'nt driving or flying. so i say that if he has permisionthen go to it. after all if they alow one to use computers on board then why not hts? after all do'nt computers transmit rf and cell phones? i think as long as we check things out and the folks incharge says it okay then who are we to tell some one not to.
