On another note, overheard on a flight home this morning (been up since 0300 EST so I'm tired and cranky anyway), "There's no reason anyone should ever be allowed to own an assault weapon or handgun." We all know there are so many issues with that statement - our rights, bad guys, simple logic, etc.

This same libtard decided it was OK to endanger a whole airplane full of people by taking video/pictures out the window on approach with his Chinese iPad knockoff tablet. Yes, I know the Mythbusters proved no harm, no foul on phones, but HE was breaking the laws put in place by the FAA to protect the flying public and rules by the airline because they can't possibly test all this odd crap.

They just don't see the hypocrisy of their words and actions. Had this event not just unfolded, he would have gotten an earful on both accounts.

No offense, but your being as whiney as the libtard. I flew 3-5 times a week for 3 years and routinely left my phone on in my pocket on my flights and NEVER experienced anything other than a smooth flight.
There is no flipping way that a cell phone is going to mess up anything with the plane other that the intercom scratchyness when the captain comes over to tell you they are about to start the approach.
