   With all of the recent fuss about air safety, I have to say   
   that the airlines are not consistant in enforcing their own   
   rules.   
      
   The specific rule I am speaking of is that which pertains to   
   electronic equipment.   
      
   On my flight to Atlanta from Denver last Thursday on a   
   United flight I noted that even after the aircraft door had   
   been closed there will still people making phone calls all   
   around me up until the time of take off. In addition even   
   when we were still in the air on the approach to Atlanta,   
   several individuals were already making calls to tell people   
   that they would be on the ground soon.   
      
   In addition, there was one kid (wearing a Boy Scout uniform   
   no less) who had his iPod on throughout the entire taxi and   
   take off sequence and his iPod was still on as we landed in   
   Atlanta. This was viewed by the flight attendants on at   
   least three occasions that I noticed and they did not   
   request that he turn the iPod off.   
      
   So while they are busy taking away everyone's shampoo, they   
   still won't enforce policies that have been established for   
   quite some time now.
