Although the rule is dumb, taking it out on the flight attendants is even dumber. Flight attendants shouldn't be expected to know which devices transmit and which don't or how a kindle works. There are stiff penalties that the flight attendant must pay personally (can be up to $10,000) for not following FARs. If it's dumb let the FAA know - it's their rule not the flight attendants.

A hundred times this.
Touré should keep his childish revolution to himself and do as the flight attendants tell him.
I have a friend who's an airhostess and the stories she tells about these pretentious assholes and how they treat the crew... Argh...
