Uh no.

Just have people turn their shit off while the plane takes off and lands.

This is retarded.

sounds like they are getting pressure from electronics manufacturers.

I don't think it's a big deal, it's not going to kill you to be without an electronic device for 15 minutes.

Actually, this isn't a bad thing. The fears that caused these bans are based on technology that is now several generations old and was a bit dubious to begin with.

Yeah I've heard that there really isn't a danger any longer. But regardless of that I don't think it's a big deal anyways. It's a minor inconvienence that everyone should be aware of prior to taking a flight.

I get annoyed with the people who think they're so important that they continue to use their devices during take off and landing despite the rules. Assholes.

People, in general, are assholes. Being on a plane amplifies it.
However, Liefeld is an enigma wrapped in a pouch-filled, muscular, footless conundrum.

well if flight crews are using Ipads in the cockpit at all times of the flight (like that article says) then i think it should be a little relaxed.

It may also be stupid when they kick you off for not following the rules. But they are a private company adhearing to federal guidelines, so I imagine we should all just suck it up and deal with it.

Do they give you more attention since you have to buy multiple seats?

No, but I get a lot of questions about what I'm doing with such an older woman (your mom).

Just because I don't know how to spell the language of some tiny African nation doesn't mean that I'm wrong in thinking that your attitude towards women is 100% wrong. Obviously, you're some skinny, single nerd living on the East Coast who probably derives value in life from wrestling matches, hoping that Wolverine gets to sleep with teenagers and engaging in casual drug use. You're literally the worst thing to happen to comics since Stan Lee.
