I'll side with the pilot in post 13, and continue to power down.
Anyway, I wouldn't get the thrill that others apparently get by proving they can get away with something. Guess you gotta grab your thrills wherever you can.
Curious if you can explain the technical "state" difference between powered-down and asleep. Because as much as I don't care for the "I'm smarter than the guy who made the rule" thing, it's safe to say that unless you work in consumer electronics or computers (and even then maybe not) you probably don't really understand the difference between these two.
My point is there's little point in getting snippy with someone who puts his laptop to sleep and puts it away. He's done what he needs to do in order to comply. I would challenge you to find a law that parses the difference.
