Just a thought here, but didn't theaters have, or do have something that dampens the use of cell phones? And if so, why not incorporate this in places where cell phones could be hazardous, like public life?

This is now a big thing with the public transit agencies, after some high profile incidents, where possible operator inattention (and may or may not have involved texting) led to death and injuries. DC and Baltimore Metros
just banned cell phones for their drivers.

 The DC Metro system banned cell phone use while operating a bus or
train years ago.  Metro has simply somewhat rephrased that ban and put
it out for public consumption in the aftermath of the rail crash that
took some lives.  PR at work.  The ban did not truly take effect or
work then, and it will fail again to curb a lot of cell phone use.
Why?  Because too many people are emotionally addicted to their
phones.
