I was pretty sure the no electronic device usage was in the FAR 121 though. . .federal regulation, so it's not just a policy, but rather a federal regulation that will be followed. Hell, it's also in FAR 91 - but more specifically towards IFR flight.
We, as crew members, just state it, along with telling the passengers where they can find further guidance on the regulation (back of company sponsored magazine, or safety card).

Which is my point.
In your example, there is a clearly marked sign that says "No cell phones," with more than likely very small text at the bottom dictating what regulation / governing authority is directing this policy.
Trouble occurs when there is no sign, and some numbskull power trip individual generates his / her own policies on the spot.
Doesn't, and will never, work that way.
