AA policy or FAA policy that no electronics can be plugged in during take off?

Either way, like others here, I just want to know what the rule is and see it applied consistently. We've all heard the no laptop in the seat pocket announcement 100's of times, but unless the guidance for the FA's changed between Sunday (when I left) and Thursday (when I returned), I'd say the FA on the AE flight was getting a little carried away.
Many of the article's were SmartTravel.com, NYTimes, and BudgetTravel

Headphones period
I was on a flight this morning, and was told that the FAA prohibits even the wearing of headphones during takeoff and landing, whether on or off. I hate it when the attendants make it up on the fly.

If you want one common regulation, then blame the FAA for approving multiple, different plans and/or the FA's for not completely understanding the regulation and/or airline management for not explaining it clearly to the FA's, etc., etc., etc.
