Resistance is appropriate for Jim Crow laws and things of that nature.
Reading your e-reader during take off and landing is not on the same level. So I will turn mine off if my seat mate asks me or the Flight Attendant tells me to directly. Because it is not that big of a deal.
We will all watch the footage of you being handcuffed at the airport because you could not grasp the concept that it really is a minor thing and not worth all the huffing and puffing.
I prefer to read on my Kindle and will break the rule but I am not going to pretend that it is such a big thing that I should resist the man when asked to turn it off.
