>>> as we mentioned at the top of the broadcast, a glimmer of hope for all those who someday hope to not have to put away all their electronic devices on planes. while we are all told they interfere with the aircraft, they're now going to reexamine that. the faa announced today it's put together a high level group that are going to take a few months, study it hard and then get back to us determining if the rules should be in place anymore.
