"Why BAN it, what happened to simple politeness, and instructions "please don't talk for extended times during travel, as this may annoy some of your co-passengers", or whatever"
Because the concept of being polite is dead. Today it’s about me. Me, me, me, me. How dare you tell me that I can't be on my phone as long as I want. *Spouts out something about freedom, our founding fathers, and such bullcrap that doesn't pertain to phones.* When I can go into a theatre and someone is sitting 3 rows down yapping on their phone. You can't ask people to be polite. Now a days you need to force them. Personally I wish we could force them at the end of a gun barrel.
