and those rules about all electronics being off during takeoff and landing don't apply to him. Dumbass.

Like the "let's roll" guy, right?

Just curious, what do you mean? It sounds as if you side with the guy using the device during take off/landing?

Ha ha - no.

In that case they were already above the minimum safe altitude, so using electronics was allowed. No, by the rules they shouldn't have set their phones to transmit. However, when you're being hijacked I think you can cut the passengers some slack so they can communicate their situation to the ground etc. The jerk in this case apparently just decided to record takeoff 'cause he felt like it and you know, the rules don't apply to liberals. (nor does common sense for that matter)
