I'd go with this one too, I know from personal experience that using sending and receiving BBMs on a BlackBerry while flying don't cause any issues (well the copilot was on the BB, not the pilot, that'd be even worse than texting while driving!).

But on a commercial flight I'm not going to complain about being asked to turn off all digital media devices, I don't object to providing my undivided attention during take-off and landing but the security-theater at airports is a different matter entirely . . . .
