Using electronic gadgets on a plane can cause a crash. Anyone failed to mention that planes are stuffed with tons of redundant electronics themselves. Plus they can even cope with with thunderstorms.

I believe those prohibitions to be some sort of a “placebo effect” for the airplane passengers.
This way, those passengers who might be overly concerned with people using their electronics will feel “assured” that electronics will be allowed to use only when it’s safe. On the other hand, those people who will use their electronics anyway feel themselves “empowered” to do so, as they are using them when it is allowed, without guilt or remorse.
@Leonardo: From that point of view: the best safety measure would be to let no people on board … that minimize all risks … sorry, I am kinda stupid today … 
I actually like that. Planes flying without people, the ultimate crash-safe airplane (As long as it doesn’t crash on a city!)
That reminds me of my superultrasecure laptop. It has no hard drive, no diskette drive, the network cable is unplugged. It has a DVD-Rom loaded with a DSL linux CD that I use when I want to boot it. No network means no hackers that can intrude my laptop, no hard disk, no data to be stolen. And once I turn it off, the operating system completely dies!!!
Harhar. Remove all the factors of a complex problem … and you solve all issues and even the existance of the problem itself.
That is either total denial or genius … not sure which one …
No fakes and no insults please. Thanks!
