I wouldn't have an issue with it had they not overshot their destination by what 130 miles? Not to mention that this distraction caused a terrorist warning and had f-16's deployed for fear of where this plane was going.

Using laptops while at cruising altitude-sure.

Letting that distract you from your job-Not okay.
