With this system, it can be made clear that the problem isn't just a
bureaucratic snafu, but is a clear and present danger. As in, "Ladies
and Gentlemen, in violation of aircraft safety rules, a personal
electronic device is a being operated in row 15, and it is interfering
with our navigation homing device, which guides the aircraft to a safe
landing." We must delay/abort our approach until this device is secured
by the crew until the aircraft has safely landed."
Something like this was implemented on a flight I took last year, when
the smoke alarm in a toilet went off. I forget the details of the
procedure, but it was clearly going to be very inconvenient indeed for
all passengers unless someone owned up. I guess someone did, otherwise
we might be still up there. (;-)
