If we get scramblers, can I please just read my Kindle in peace? An e-book with Wifi turned off is no more dangerous than a digital wristwatch, and yet I routinely get asked to turn mine off for takeoff.

Asking someone to turn a Kindle off is a little ridiculous as it is, given that "off" is more "locked" than "powered off."
