Take on the FAA

I read an article in today's Times about progress on the technology
front. This wasn't a new app or gaming console but instead a push to
allow electronic devices to be used during take-off and landings on a
commercial plane. The basis of the argument is that if Pilots and
flight attendance can use them in flight, why wouldn't passengers and
the argument about an IPad being a projectile in the case of
turbulence is no more valid than a heavy book having the same, if not
worse, effect.

But what got me is the argument which stated that other electronic
device like hearing-aids and electric razors were allowed and thus
there should be no reason to not allow IPadsand Kindles

My only question is..who the hell is using an electronic razor while
sitting strapped into your seat?? As a fellow passenger, I'd much
rather have the guy sitting next to me reading 50 Shades of Grey on a
tablet than shaving excess nose-hair or worse yet deciding this is the
optimal time to do some man-grooming

Get over yourself FAA and allow me to watch YourPorn while your sleep
deprived pilots try to make a LaGuardia landing with 90 mile per hour
cross-winds over the sound and disallow the nose clippers
