The call for cellphones away was very much an effort to cover up.

Airlines. If you call in the police to enforce your corporate policy and somebody is dragged off, expect it to be taped. Expect it to go viral. Expect bad press. If you don’t want this, don’t call in the police and it won’t be taped. Enforce your own policies in a manner similar to what is described above—don’t expect the police to do it and for the taxpayers to pay for it.
