I just wanted to comment on how clever the thread title is.

The title of this thread needs to contain "ASA" to be in compliance with FI guidelines...

They were going to LaGuardia? I would have thought anyone stupid enough to think a cell phone would bring down a jet would be traveling to someplace like South Carolina.

You did read the article first ... right. The guy whom saw Huffington use her blackberry was the one freaking out and causing the disturbance not Huffington herself. Was she wrong for using it, yes and she did turn it off once the F/A told her.

"Belodoff said that a flight attendant eventually persuaded Huffington to turn off the device and place it in her pocketbook, which was in an overhead bin, but she had been using it for at least 10 minutes after the plane was airborne."​
