Rules are set to be followed. I hope the FAA does not lift the band on cell phone use because it would be pure chaos in the cabin.

This passenger highlights the need for everyone one to be able to hear and watch the safety announcement. Clearly, she was not confortable with flying.

IMHO, I think experience travellers should have everything neatly stowed away ASAP. This sets a good example for new or less frequent travellers. When FF push the envelop on keeping electronics out, the family with 2 DVD players and 3 iPods will too. The faster we all get seated the faster you can legally use your approved portable electronic devices. Plus, we should be the least pain in the side of the FAs. Let the FAs worry about the nervous person or difficult family.
