FAA Changes Gadget Use Policy on Planes

FAA: Air passengers can now use gadgets on planes (but not make cell phone calls)

Government safety rules are changing to let airline passengers use most electronic devices from gate-to-gate.

The change will let passengers read, work, play games, watch movies and listen to music - but not make cellphone calls.

Another Air Traffic Controller Asleep

This time in Reno.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday it suspended an air traffic controller for falling asleep at work and being out of communication for 16 minutes, forcing a medical flight to land overnight without local support.

"Can't seem to get a hold of the tower here," the pilot of the LifeGuard flight says in an audiotape recording. "We will circle some more. We've got a pretty sick patient. We may have to just land."
