The specific rule I am speaking of is that which pertains to electronic equipment. On my flight to Atlanta from Denver last Thursday on a United flight I noted that even after the aircraft door had been closed there will still people making phone calls all around me up until the time of take off. In addition even when we were still in the air on the approach to Atlanta, several individuals were already making calls to tell people that they would be on the ground soon. In addition, there was one kid (wearing a Boy Scout uniform no less) who had his iPod on throughout the entire taxi and take off sequence and his iPod was still on as we landed in Atlanta. This was viewed by the flight attendants on at least three occasions that I noticed and they did not request that he turn the iPod off. So while they are busy taking away everyone's shampoo, they still won't enforce policies that have been established for quite some time now.

I generally only fly Delta, but occasionally I have to accept flights on other airlines due to schedule or price.
