example of a stupid law that I break all the time but it is actually for safety reasons;
it is a law to wear a seatbelt while driving at all times. not disputed. I am fairly large busted, and trying to back up while wearing a seatbelt is actually dangerous as when I look to my left, the seatbelt rides up and obscures my vision. I ALWAYS back up without my seatbelt on.
it is a rule to have my Kindle off during take off and landing. I am most nervous during these two manuevers, a magazine will not hold my attention. I discreetly start reading my Kindle when the flight attendants have taken their seats. it is better for me, and those around me.

Dear Kindlekitten:
Trying not to think too hard about this... how does breast size affect the seat belt other than adding length to the belt? Being a guy, I love your stance of freedom and applaud it... but this mental picture does not seem to come into focus.
I do the same thing. I turn off my Astak device when they say please turn off devices... and then turn it back on when the flight attendants are seated. Actually... I find most flight attendents LOVE eBook Readers and my blue device really brings them over to try it, play with it, and such. Still, after two years, I can walk the aisles of a large plane and not see another eBook Reader other than my own. I think there is a huge public out there to still be conquered !
