1) Every single limitation of our freedoms is "just one, very minor" thing. Harmless in itself. But if we can accept "turning off gadgets on take-off for no good reason at all", why not other tiny, negligible thing? And another? And another? Where will it stop? (Yes, I may be too sensitive to these things. But as I have lived in a totalitarian country, I do have a first-hand experience on how these tiny things tend to accummulate...)

2) I for one see a vast difference between "being polite" and "doing whatever someone tells me to do".
