The irritating thing is that so many people seem to consider themselves "above the law" and think that the rules don't apply to them. Really, don't you think that a public announcement should be sufficient here, rather than the cabin crew having to tell everyone individually to obey it?

If the airlines started to really check to make sure the devices were off & fined all the self-centered jerks $500.00 per incident, they would get over themselves real quick and start obeying the instructions!
