Senator vows to block 'yapping' cellphone conversations on airplanes

Predicting that 2 million passengers will be “yapping their innermost thoughts” on jets if the Federal Communications Commission OK’s cellphone use on aircrafts, a key senator has vowed to introduce legislation to kill the plan if necessary.

“Imagine two million passengers, hurtling through space, trapped in 17-inch-wide seats, yapping their innermost thoughts,” warned Tennessee Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander. “The Transportation Security Administration would have to hire three times as many air marshals to deal with the fistfights.”
