  • Airplane mode's persistence stems from outdated concerns about phone interference, despite limited evidence supporting its necessity for safety.
  • European flights now allow calls and data with pico-cells ensuring no interference; US flights maintain bans due to air rage concerns.
  • FCC's ban on in-flight cell phone use in 1991 persists, fueled by fears of air rage, not technical interference issues.
