People need to clam down and pay attention during takeoff and landing.

The people who feel its their right to ignore the flight attendants and play with their phone/tablet are the same ones you see driving everyday talking on their phone and or texting... they kill thousands of people a year because they think rules about electronics are "inconvenient".

It makes sense, considering all of the planes that have fallen from the skies recently that were completely and irrefutably attributable to PEDs.
What led you to reach this totally wrong and horrible conclusion.
Sarcasm.
What led you to reach this totally wrong and horrible conclusión (LIMAO!)
The restrictions on PEDs has everything to do with keeping passengers alert during the most critical portions of flight (pre-flight, takeoff, landing), and has NOTHING to do with disruptions of flight controls.
