What a crap of an article. Scaring out people seems like an established practice for the press.
Let me site a few gems from there:

In 2007, one pilot recounted an instance when the navigational equipment on his Boeing 737 had failed after takeoff. A flight attendant told a passenger to turn off a hand-held GPS device and the problem on the flight deck went away.

That surely proves e. devices are dangerous. Very scientific indeed.

Since 2000, there have been at least 10 voluntary reports filed by pilots in the United States with the Aviation Safety Reporting System, administered by NASA.

10 reports based on 6th sense are surely important, especially if we consider the number of flights in the last 10 years - only a few hundred million flights (and in figures now - more than 100,000,000 flights).
I am far more concerned about Martians knocking on my door and then blasting me with a laser gun, than the apple ifan sitting next to me on a flight and playing Angry Birds.
