I am generally in favour of the idea of phone-free events, and I've been to one where where my phone was stapled in one of those "static-free" electronics plastic pouches.

However, how far down the rabbit hole are we going to go here? Security gates/screenings for phones? Some engineering innovation of a cross between faraday cage and EMP? Centralized reputation profile for events (a la Uber, eBay, AirBnb)?

I would love it if everyone just played ball, but one bad apple 'n' all that.
