Reading 6

With family all over the country, I fly a lot and reading an article like this makes me nervous. The different stories made it seem as if the captains and flight attendants didn’t have any control over the passenger’s actions on the plane. Not until after there were signs of the plane’s system failing could they take the proper precautions to fix it. After September 11^th, you would think that they have more control over the passengers on the plane and how it flies. And reading about people like Alec Baldwin who make and scene and complain about not being able to play a game on his phone makes me livid. I cant help but think about the three thousand innocent lives that were taken almost eleven years ago and all the families that I personally know that were destroyed because of five passengers on a plane. If a flight attendant asks someone to turn off their cell phone until they land, I do not think this should cause an issue for anyone. I would personally feel safer if the crew at the beginning of each flight held all cell phones so that there is no risk of any plane malfunctions. Knowing that one of those passengers could potentially be trying to tamper with the plane’s navigation should be enough to change the policy on the airlines.
