Is there really any danger to the plane that a Newton can cause? The air
line people always have said that they don't want the EM radiation to affect
the interments the pilot uses. I for one don't believe that my Newton or a
cd player for that matter could have an affect on a device that so far away
(I can't afford first class) and shielded. Can anyone shed some light on
this?
