RE: presentation-prep as safety hazard

I feared it was some sort of omen on Sunday evening when I arrived at the
Minneapolis airport and found one of the departure gate monitors
superimposed with a Windows error pop-up saying "Windows has detected an IP
addressing conflict".  It didn't seem clear who'd be in a position to click
"OK"...

On the plane last night, flying in to Minneapolis:

2 minutes later:

"People!  We really need you to turn those laptops off NOW ..."


On the way here, the flight attendant insisted that I turn off my Palm
Pilot.

Do they make people turn off hearing aids?
