Yes I would support a total ban, sounds very sensible. I've noticed in the past that this topic—limiting anyone's right to use their phone at any time or place—gets by far the most fervent, visceral objections of any topic discussed on here. And also that the commenters' degree of rejection of phone-limitation seems inversely proportional to the quality of the comment, however you want to measure that. It seems common to feel "I should be able to use my phone whenever and wherever I want", and simply apply that to every particular situation under discussion, no thought required, coming up with all kinds of far-fetched reasons to justify it; but the gut reaction Muh phone seems the driver.
