Mini...

i.e. assume all laptops will cause interference, saves arguments...
Yep not arguing. I have a mobile with flight mode. It stays off. Crew don't have the time to chaeck all phones / argue / train people who can't get flight mode on etc.

But I was observing that save for take off and landing where all laptop use is banned I have, yet, to hear any mention of "ensure wireless networking is switched off if you are using a laptop."

Now i'm in that habit of taking a laptop i'd not be keen on seeing all use banned in flight just because some people can't or will not disable WiFi - especially as some airleins are just bringing in in flight internet access
