ATA - Most uninformed flight attendants ever

So I got this story from http://consumerist.com. Basically, a Man using his iPhone decided to watch a movie on his iPhone, now while he was watching it a Flight Attendant came over and told him that he can't use cell phones on the plane. The man simply said that he was not using the cell phone part. The flight attendant left, and then came back later. After a few more times, they had to fly to the nearest airport, where police were waiting for him. After the attendant changing his story 3 times about why the man couldn't use the cell phone (which he wasn't), the attendant gave up and he was free to go. Complete story is here as usual.

1) Does this attendant have any knowladge of the current events AT ALL?
2) I think the man should get a BIG apology for being detained for no valid reason.
3) The attendant should be fired for being so completely rude.

Thats what I think, aside from the fact that the attendant is a complete idiot.

More Tech news coming up, there will be a schedule outage for the blog at 4 PM PDT.. though because I am on a school computer I can't find out why.

Hopefully a few more posts will be out soon.
