I would hope it was more egregious than simply "in a minute" as a response to "please turn off your phone". I get the desire to have everyone comply with the law, even one that isn't actually meaningfully reducing risk, but the potential for massive amounts of wasted time for all passengers if airlines start returning to the gate every time a passenger doesn't flip to airplane mode immediately isn't something I look forward to.
