Then at put that person in jail, not the person with the tacky device name.

Do you hear yourself? You're saying we should be irrational because there's irrational people. That we should send people to jail because they might upset an irrational person? You're sending the wrong person to jail. Are you crazy?

You're interpreting a lot, as I didn't say any of that.

What I'm saying is that the decision whether or not something is considered a risk is completely at the discretion of the captain. And by accepting the terms of the airline when boarding the plane, you agree to follow the orders of the captain.

So if that captain says "turn it off", you turn it off. It's very simple.

But I give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you don't want to understand for the sake of confrontation, so I'll leave it at that.
