Gig,
Well, this:
And despite the ban on cell phone use during flights, the researchers
discovered that on average one to four cell phone calls are made from
every
commercial flight in the northeast United States.
Some are even made during critical flight times, such as the climb after
takeoff or the final approach.
kind of contradicts this, doesn't it?
However, the CMU study concluded otherwise. While the researchers looked
primarily at cell phone use, they also discovered that emissions from
other
portable devices proved "problematic."
"We found that the risk posed by these portable devices is higher than
previously believed," researcher Bill Strauss said in a release
announcing
the findings.

I'm neither a supporter or detractor of the study but I don't see how those
two statements in any way contradict each other. They are barely related.
