Firstly, I am generally at the front of the queue when it comes to enforcing /claiming/standing up for my, and anyone elses' rights
But.....
At present, there is , understandably, concern over airline/plane security, and the whole thing is a nightmare for us and the air industry.
And, quite naturally, the multiplicity of portable electronic devices, and the near impossibility of the airlines testing each one quickly to see if they're safe in a plane, (forget the terrorist implications for now) means a difficult series of problems for airlines, and their "front-line " staff.
They are taking a "safety first" attitude with your, and your fellow passengers, safety.
I'm glad of that.
I presume you are content to go through the increased security checks at airports ?
Now, you may think you know better than the airline's security/technical people, and you may well be right, but I'm quite happy to comply with a perfectly reasonable request, which anyway is in their regulations, which we have signed up to by buying a ticket, and not make a difficult situation worse. I don't feel I have to teach them how to do their job, the errors in their behaviour and decisions, or try to show them the technical reasons why I'm in the right, and they are ignorant, in a case like this.
Thank God you didn't sit next to me.......
Please, get a life, buy a paperback, or go to sleep.
