Fliers Must Turn Off Devices, but It’s Not Clear Why
Yeah, why? This regulation baffles me as well, especially when I’ve been flying quite a bit earlier this year. And on those flights where checks are relatively less stringent, I’m certain that more than “two people per Boeing 737” had their devices remained on during takeoffs and landings (partly because my friend and I are guilty of it, sometimes)
And I still remember there was this incident eons ago, where I was politely told to switch off my Creative MP3 player while the plane took off. But I think my MP3 player had absolutely zero chip in it that is capable of emitting any form of radio signal or the sorts.
So why?
