I do, but the guy in front of my kept his iphone on, playing a movie, the whole time -- and managed not to crash the plane.

I'll obey, but it would be NICE to know WHY, because it sounds like HORSESH@T, and keeping pilots happy in their horesh@t is no explanation.

Given the incredible frequency of "guy still doesn't turn off his device" like the guy in front of me -- it would be LUNACY for planes not to be DESIGNED to be able to operate safely inspite of such devices.

I can see it now -- Al Queda sends fleet of jihadists on planes with their cell phones and kindles surreptitiously on in their pockets.
