To prohibit certain agency actions regarding the use of certain electronic devices onboard air born commercial airlines.
Summary
H.R. 5342 was a legislative proposal that sought to prevent federal agencies from lifting the ban on certain electronic devices, such as cellular phones, during commercial flights. If enacted, the bill would have maintained existing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) restrictions through June 1, 2007, effectively blocking any new rules that would allow passengers to make voice calls or use specific wireless technologies while airborne. The primary impact on citizens would have been the continued prohibition of mobile phone use during flight to ensure that electronic signals did not interfere with aircraft navigation or communication systems.
