And? The entire point is that A should be caught in testing. You won't catch everything, but you can catch the egregious offenders.

In the US it is currently a felony to refuse to follow the instructions of a flight crew, are you willing to risk arrest to read your kindle?

How, precisely, is the flight crew going to tell that the ereader in your bag is sitting at a page or if you've blanked the screen? But no, don't blank the screen and you're going to jail.
Sigh.
These devices are on now. There is one case of an air accident where mobile phones were
possibly associated, and the accident review found otherwise. (Unless you count the
United 93 flight crash as "caused by mobile phones"...which is true in some ways but
utterly disingenuous as a claim even so). The disaster situations simply haven't happened, and aircraft are flying every day in Europe with mobiles being used in flight.
Sigh again.
