Los Angeles Times (December 16)
Consumer drones have taken off and already number over a million. It’s conceivable the day will come when every home has 2 or 3, just like TVs. “The key difference, though — and it is a big one — is that each one of these flying robots has outsized potential for mischief compared with other tech products like TVs, headphones and tablets.”
New York Times (October 6)
“Tablets and other devices have been around for years. It’s time regulators issued common-sense rules for their use aboard planes.” A recent recommendation from an expert panel suggests the Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A) might loosen regulations on the use of electronic devices. The panel’s “sensible recommendation would allow passengers to read e-books, listen to music or watch movies without causing interference during takeoffs and landings.” Partial restrictions against using cell phones and Wi-Fi would, however, remain in place if the F.A.A. follows the panel’s recommendation.
