I think captain smooth was trying to warn against cell phone use and leaving the cell phones on in flight without revealing the various problems those mini transmitter/receivers cause in flight.

Well, tell him he owes several airlines lost revenue due to:
cell phones in cargo bins that have set of the smoke detectors
startled passengers that no longer fly because the flight crew in imc appropriately responded to egpws warnings set off by a cell phone left on in the baggage
go arounds initiated due to communication interference from cell phones
(paraphrased from actual statements in incident/operational/occurrence reports)
Oops!
Sorry smooth.
