People need to realize that when they fly they need to follow the rules. Rules that are often set by civil aviation authorities and enforceable by law. If something happens on the ground during taxiing, the FAs are required to evacuate everyone within 90 seconds, mindless individuals like yourself that insist on listening to your ipod during a critical phase of flight hinder the process and endanger OTHERS that might actually want to get out of the plane quickly rather than listen to music.
what do you think about flying naked to enhance security.

by the way i take the risk of a terrible accident when parked at the gate of losing these seconds for taking the headphones out of my ear. as a matter of fact i'm a lot more willing to take that risk than driving 250 km/h on the highway. and i do that too.
