Maurice,

About 5 years ago, the WSJ had a long article about a large jumbo jet that experienced problems in the air which seemed to be initiated by a passenger using a toshiba laptop. It's been a while since I read the article but I remember that it said that the flight crew were asked by the pilots to "quietly" go through the plane and locate any passangers using electonic devices. Then they individually were asked to turn them off and see what happened. When the guy with the laptop turned his off, the planes problems were resolved.

If I remember correctly, the article said that after the flight when the pilots notifed whomever is responsible for such stuff, they tried to track down the passanger with the problem laptop but were not able to find him, nor replicate the problem with other laptops.
