And I did try to stay out of this thread.
Now just WTF?
The a/c system is operating at 500v 400Hz (?) and severe amps - which is
radiating emr interference (including harmonics at higher frequencies) like
you wouldn't believe. But all instrumentation/radio cabling is shielded
and, at least until the Dreamliner, the entire fuse is one whopping great
Faraday cage which means all radio antenna (if properly installed) see NO
interference from inside the fuse if the bonding is correct.
Now granted the emr from any computer is appalling, wtf has that to do with
an effectively quiescent pissant digital camera?
And why should either affect any properly shielded a/c system?
Seems remarkably similar to the plastic knives out of Oz and the steel
knives, on the same flight, when re-catered from Singapore.
IOW - bullshit.
