Wrong. A.
You can't accidentally assign a value to $variable and the code is highly readable. that is you know that variable is most likely a bool and maybe an integer. You know just by looking a A what the programmer is doing and the programmer has the forsight/experience to write the code such that typos and stupid errors don't get in the way of testing.
Personal electronics do not produce any kind of radiation powerful enough to mess with a single engine prop. let alone jumbojet. I've been a pilot for several years now. I part of my "situational awareness" gear includes a bluetooth GPS, XM band weather reciever (also uses bluetooth) and a tablet PC all connected to a 600Watt inverter connected to the planes 24v power rails. With all my gear on and operating at full power my MAGNETIC compass is only off by at most 3 degrees. My TWO GPS receivers and other radios are far more accurate. This blaming personal electronics is a large load of donky crap!
see below for more details on what I use.

Comic reference aside, In ever business I have ever worked from hundreds of thousands of employees in several countries to a local church with five staff members, the practive was to crush or other wise physically destroy any hard drives that could possibly going outside their previous usage scope.
