I have always reached my destinations safely :-) By the way, the past two weeks Divi Divi pilots did halfheartedly say that mobile phones should be switched off, but did not check nor said anything when one of the passengers was text-messaging during the journey :-D For a few years now I have kept my mobile phone and/or PDA switched on while taking off, landing and during flights.

(and concern of being hurt by flying BB, laptop..) The valid concern is the Bose headset, people listining to music, dozing off during take off and landing that may not hear the Put your head between your legs and assume the position. I agree interfering with plane's navigation is bull*** I wondered if FAA felt it was a safety issue as take off and landings is where there is higher likelyhood of crashing.
