Using logic like "the rule is stupid" or "I was going to do it in a minute anyway" doesn't apply. What the people in front of me were doing was against the rules as far as the FA who told them to turn off the phone, which was not a PDA or Blackberry but a Sprint cell phone I believe and I shouldn't be attacked for making sure the rule was enforced.
