Shavers? They allow electric shavers to be operating during takeoff and landing, but not Kindles? All. FAA. Credibility. Blown. #ddtb<\/p>\n

Remember when I got pissed that I had to turn my Kindle off for takeoff and landing, because the reasons are constantly changing and aren't based on science?<\/p>\n

BAM:<\/p>\n

>Gadgets are tested by monitoring the number of volts per meter coming off a device. The F.A.A. requires that before a plane can be approved as safe, it must be able to withstand up to 100 volts per meter of electrical interference.<\/p>\n

>When EMT Labs put an Amazon Kindle through a number of tests, the company consistently found that this e-reader emitted less than 30 microvolts per meter when in use. That\u2019s only 0.00003 of a volt.<\/p>\n

>\u201cThe power coming off a Kindle is completely minuscule and can\u2019t do anything to interfere with a plane,\u201d said Jay Gandhi, chief executive of EMT Labs, after going over the results of the test. \u201cIt\u2019s so low that it just isn\u2019t sending out any real interference.\u201d<\/p>\n

>But one Kindle isn\u2019t sending out a lot of electrical emissions. But surely a plane\u2019s cabin with dozens or even hundreds will? That\u2019s what both the F.A.A. and American Airlines asserted when I asked why pilots in the cockpit could use iPads, but the people back in coach could not. Yet that\u2019s not right either.<\/p>\n

>\u201cElectromagnetic energy doesn\u2019t add up like that. Five Kindles will not put off five times the energy that one Kindle would,\u201d explained Kevin Bothmann, EMT Labs testing manager. \u201cIf it added up like that, people wouldn\u2019t be able to go into offices, where there are dozens of computers, without wearing protective gear.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
