I don't fly often (prefer the car), but the last time, I was reading on the airport (waiting in line for boarding). And I never turn off my reader, I simply lock it. My PDA can't even be turned off. Or I must remove the battery. And I found out (when we'd landed) that I hadn't turned off my phone either. I always forget that thing... (it was somewhere in the bottom of my stuffed bag...)
