They don't actually trip me, the charger comes out of the outlet or the phone. It's not like the thick strap of an underseat bag. Did you have really cables that were wrapped around people's legs? How is this different than headphone cables in headphone jacks which are sometimes located in the same spot? And this tripping hazard is worse than tablets, books, dogs, etc all over the floor? I'm not saying it is impossible for someone to trip over a charger cable, but why focus on that one item when there seems to be so many other things that are much worse trip hazards. It should be based on risk, probability of occurrence, and impact. Even with the tripping, how long did it take for everyone to evac?

Then I say, tablet can't stand open on their own, either needs a case that props them open or a kickstand on the back of the tablet. Usually elicits "Good to know" kind of response.
