How about we just give the stews a few rolls of aluminum foil. Anybody with personal electronics is given a couple of feet of foil, and they have to wrap up their gadget like a baked potato! And if the item is big, like a laptop, then, after foiling, they have to duct tape the gadget to the seat back. Maybe I'm beginning to think all problems can be solved with foil and duct tape!
