ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you actually READ the stuff you yourself post??????
It CONTRADICTS you!!!
sorry pal, i've been working in the cell phone industry for YEARS, and your info is outdated at best and plain old ignorant at worst.
here, let me decimate this paragraph, and subsequently your entire argument:
"When you make a cell phone call, the first thing that happens is that your cell phone needs to contact a transponder."
i'll let you slide with this one. transponder is an old black and white sci-fi term, not an industry term.
"Your cell phone has a max transmit power of five watts, three watts is actually the norm."
you don't have a pacemaker or anything, right? that 5 watt analog will fry an egg, old man. today's digitals use less than a watt.
"If an aircraft is going five hundred miles an hour, your cell phone will not be able to 1. Contact a tower, 2. Tell the tower who you are, and who your provider is, 3. Tell the tower what mode it wants to communicate with, and 4. Establish that it is in a roaming area before it passes out of a five watt range."
wrong again. a cell tower's range is between 5 and 20 miles, depending on terrain, weather, etc.
if you leave the range of one tower, the next tower will pick you up, and you won't ever know it. hell, they can pass a call from an analog roaming call to a digital signal, and you can't tell.
and your phone can go through the steps you listed in about 4 seconds.
"This procedure, called an electronic handshake, takes approximately 45 seconds for a cell phone to complete upon initial power up in a roaming area because neither the cell phone or cell transponder knows where that phone is and what mode it uses when it is turned on."
from power up this takes about 6-10 seconds. and the towers can pass you off so you never lose a connection.
"At 500 miles an hour, the aircraft will travel three times the range of a cell phone's five watt transmitter before this handshaking can occur."
i bet you get funny looks when you have to turn the crank on that monster bagphone of yours to "wind up the batteries"....
"Though it is sometimes possible to connect during takeoff and landing, under the situation that was claimed the calls were impossible. The calls from the airplane were faked, no if's or buts."
but... but... you're wrong.
============================================================
Your data is out of data, modern cell phones do not take 45 seconds to establish a connection with a tower upon powerup in a roaming area. Try it yourself. It takes under 10 seconds (and that is being generous) unless you are on the extreme range and are barely getting any signal.
I'm in a roaming area now. My cell phone is off. Let's turn it on and see, shall we?
Searching.. Searching.. Connected. Voicmail notification. elapsed time: 5.7 seconds. And I'm in a research facility with metal between the walls (read low signal reception). Probably would have been faster if I was sanding outside but it would have been hard to drag my computer stopwatch out there.
Given the heavily populated areas which the planes were flying over, I would assume there would be at least a couple towers and/or relays that the phones could hook up to. They also probably had direct line-of-sight working for them, and the lack of anything but the plane's hull blocking direct contact.
Furthermore, a visit to Boeing's home page, as you suggested, did not confirm your claims, Perhaps if you posted a URL?
I have one for you: boeing.com
In which it clearly states that "At bank angles greater than 67 degrees, level flight cannot be maintained within flight manual limits for a 2.5 g load factor" Furthermore, there is a link in that article showing Boeing passenger planes rated up to about 3g's of force for SAFE emergency recovery maneuvers. However, the planes in question were neither flying level, nor were they intended to survive the extreme banking the pilots were subjecting them to. Therefore one could conclude that a pilot could force the plane into a relatively high-g turn if he wasn't expecting to stay within safe operating limits.
I suggest you do a little more research before trying to spread your anti-government messages (that was your intent, right? Without saying it, you are basically saying the entire 9/11 ordeal is a government scheme/coverup -- who else could manufacture cell phone calls, who else could "take control" of a passenger-filled 757 and fly it into a building?)
Come back to the real world. I am. I have that voicemail to answer =P

What this stated in that article is incorrect regarding the 757's and 767's. The 757 and 767, as used in the hijackings, aren't fly-by-wire aircraft, they're flight control systems are hydraulic, not computerised, all 757's and 767's have are onboard computerised warning systems to suggest actions to the pilot, a voice saying "PULL UP! PULL UP!" and alarms when diving are too low for example. I'd ask people to look into the Boeing 757 that crashed into a mountain ridge while trying to land at Cali, Colombia, in 1995, the 757's ground-warning system told the pilot to pull up, as he did, but the pilot did not retract the speed brakes as they climbed. The only Boeing that is fly-by-wire with build in computerised pilot assistance/override is the 777. On the 777 though the pilot has the ultimate say, pilots in general don't like being flown by computers, they can override the onboard computers and their built-in soft limits i.e. maximum g, pitch, roll etc on the 777.
The only airliners that have flight control computers that the pilot can't override are Airbus A320's and newer Airbus models - the most controversial airliners going among pilots.

He's a liar. 33Q10 is not NSA, it is Army. The "10" designates he is anywhere from an E-1 (buck private) to E-4 (specialist). He is a nothing with 4 years or less time in service. The 33Q MOS is a
microwave communications field engineer. They don;t even work on the Army's version of the cellular phone system (I did). Cell phones will work fine from a plane.
