I have no problem with someone reporting people who are breaking the rules. I think it is silly to bully people into not telling on folks who break the rules. I would hope that Harry would ask me to turn off my device before pushing the button but that is his call to make.

I want my soon to be born son to tell me if anyone is breaking the rules/law if they are hurting him in any way or doing something that is dangerous (drugs, drinking and driving). While these are more serious then using an e-reader, it is better for people to feel comfortable telling the authorities when the rules are being broken then not. That is not being an ass, that is part of being a good citizen.

I would hope that there is a sense of balance, that is breaking the rules but taking the extra cookie is not that big of a deal. I respect that people have different ideas about the possible consequences of mass use of electronics on a plane.

It is not a big deal. If asked, I would turn it off and I would not feel like my seat mate was being a tattle tale.
