The FCC also wants to know what you think about ending the ban on in-flight use of cell phones. Alison Clements was flying out of Washington this morning. She has no problem with it.

— AAA’s Justin McNaull says highways could be jammed for the upcoming holidays. (We’re expecting nearly 51 million people to hit the highways this holiday, about 3% more than last year, and that’s the first time we’ve ever seen over 50 million people traveling on the roads for a holiday.)

A woman was killed in the fire. Six people are in critical condition.
