I'm not entirely sure, but don't they mention 'hand-held devices' already? My suggestion:

Being a bit giggly is not a safety issue.

Anyone else really having a tough time deciding what was up or down in that first picture?

I'm a bit confused by the title.

You mean ATL-LHR, right? And you switch to a different plane and flight number there?

A small frustration with AA's flight number strangeness. I've mentioned it before, but it deserves its own thread (if only for me to vent).
