This is the same sort of arguement used by those who text while driving.
And how do you know that it only radiates 1/2"? I know of someone who has held a conversation across the Atlantic Ocean on about 0.00002 watts of power.

Well, I'm not driving, so there's that.. I trust the engineer who said that it e-ink devices give off detectable signal for a few millimeters. I broadened it, just because. It's good to know that you are happy to sit strapped in a seat for an hour doing nothing, but I'm not. If I have the window and it's daylight outside and it's not cloudy and I'm not over the wing, then there's something to see during part of that time. The rest of the time, I read when the flight attendants are seated and leave it in stand-by the rest of the time. I haven't brought a plane down yet.
