ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Saw this over at PocketPC Thoughts this morning. An article about the Air Marshals use of PDA’s:

“The Transportation Security Administration spent $6.9 million to outfit the federal air marshal corps with voice-capable wireless handheld computers for in-flight use and then subsequently banned any voice usage because of potential interference with cockpit functions, according to interviews with several air marshals.”

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction…
