Gig,

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.


Let me explain: If "on average one to four cell phone calls are made from
every commercial flight in the northeast United States" and "We found that the
risk posed by these portable devices is higher than previously believed" both
are true, then the incidents/accidents should show this in an obvious way -
unless even the "higher than previously believed" risk is still really small.
