On a related note, in the middle of a flight on Lufthansa from Frankfurt to Istanbul two years ago, a flight attendent approached me and, in flawless English (my last name is unquestionably of English descent), demanded that I turn off my CD player immediately because it would interfere with the cockpit. Her glaring stare alone was inappropriate, let alone the manner in which she made her request (in an indginant "you stupid American" type of way). This was the first time I had not been allowed to listen to a CD player in-flight, so I asked her (in flawless German I might add) whether she thought it was truly capable of bringing down the brand new A320 we were on. </font>
I don't think that I have yet been on a flight where they haven't said that the use of CD players is forbidden. It is certainly indicated clearly in the inflights mags also.
