That was actually for flights going in or out of the UK that day. I misread it at first. That was actually for flights going in or out of the UK that day.

Um, they never banned laptops or iPods from flights. Today, the wikipedia article indicates that electronic devices are still allowed. Did you misread the article or did the article change sometime recently? >>I had no idea that they weren’t allowing laptops or iPods on flights right now.

Um, they never banned laptops or iPods from flights. Today, the wikipedia article indicates that electronic devices are still allowed. Did you misread the article or did the article change sometime recently?

I've been watching this article develop all day. Did the same thing last year when i was at BLC and the Supreme Court nominations for John Roberts was going on. I remember sitting in a room with a few teachers showing them the development of this story -- Almost LIVE. Granted, a lot of bias was in that one for obvious reasons, but still, very in depth.

I'm a fan of Wikipedia, but I never thought of it as a news source for current events. I agree this was the best coverage on this story I've seen, read, or heard. PS. I added to the story (my 1st time!) and couldn't help but correct someone's spelling error. :) Wow! I’m a fan of Wikipedia, but I never thought of it as a news source for current events.
