It's definitely a concern, those smaller single prop planes can hardly carry any luggage at all if you fill them with passengers.

Are the passengers really small or is the luggage big?

I thought it wasn't actually about interfering with plane communications but more about planefulls of cell phones trying to connect to and overwhelming swathes of towers at hundreds of miles per hour.

It predates cell phones. I forget the details but at the time electronic devices could legitimately gently caress up something plane related. It isn't true anymore and hasn't been for a while but they ask anyway.

And they also want you to put those devices away for a few minutes to listen to safety instructions. Not that anybody listens anyway. But the idea is basically "please turn it all off and stow it. Now pay attention to these instructions in case there is an emergency. Now go ahead and play Candy Crush."

At least they’re making an effort to make the safety videos entertaining these days. The current Delta one is an animated version of the safety card people, and the gags are legit funny

On European airlines, or at least flights going to/from Europe (and possibly Canada?), passengers have to remove headphones for the safety talk. Which is a start!

It might just be because thin people breathe out the calories and others breathe it in

The Garfield strip about Jon drinking cum? Because that wasn't breathed out or in.

You do actually remove the waste products of lipid oxidization through your mouth. So when you lose weight you are in fact breathing your fat out once you've used the energy in it.
