Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is asking the Federal Aviation Administration to study whether cell phones can be used safely during a flight. Current policy requires an airline to determine that interference isn't a safety risk before allowing their use. LaHood wants to help. "We must set appropriate standards as we help the industry consider when passengers can use the latest technologies safely during a flight," he says.
