I heard on the news today that 3 US airlines are putting fire suppression bags on their planes in case a phone starts a fire. I think all airlines should do that.
I fly several times a week, and have had the same thought. They just tell you to turn it off for the duration of the flight, and don't charge it. Not a lot of faith in people. Every body in every seat has at least one phone; I happen to have two, and I see that a lot.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
