And what about Casio watches? And Alarm clocks? Or any other that is not winded for that matter? Analogic reflex cameras? These have battery powered light meters that cannot be turned off...
I have used the Reader a couple of times when flying and never turned it off or was asked to. And I take aisle seats, for planes are designed for kids. I have been seen clearly.
Really now, I do as I am requested but if the plane is really going to have any sort of trouble for whatever usual electronic device, I really want to know it and want it searched and retired from each and every passenger. What percentage of a**holes can fly any given day? say a 1% (pretty low, I think). You get from 1 to 7 guys (depending on the plane) keeping the phone mute but working in case they get texted or emailed.
If that is of any real relevance I would like this measures to be efficiently enforced.
As I said, I have no problem with doing as I am requested, but I don't buy all this. I think it goes more with keeping some sort of order and quiet. Imagine 200 people talking themselves out of boredom at the same time through their cells. It is like when you fly long, they feed you plenty and then rise the heat so you get drowsy, fall sleep and don't pester around the aisles.
People in a plane are not people after all. We are cattle.
