Perhaps the best reason to have all the gear off for take-off and landing is to, maybe just maybe, have the attention of the passengers during the most critical time of he flight. We all know the new technology aircraft are more than likely not going to be interfered with by a cell phone, but what about 500 of them transmitting all at once? I've had a full needle deflection on the localizer at 300 ft, in the clouds, when a pax turned on a cell phone. Granted, it was an old technology 737, but it happened. It caused us to go around. We made an announcement that everyone had better turn off the phones or we may have to find a different airport. Next pass was just fine.

Every one is getting kicked off planes these days. Was the plane taxing or parked at the gate?F/As can really sometimes be a bit annoying, it ruins the point of flying. . If it hadn't left the gate, I don't see the problem.
Other reports indicate AC returned to gate and one said he took his game to washroom and was banging on bulkhead between WC and cockpit.
This guy is living proof you can never pick up a turd by the clean end.
