One wonders if someone will develop some low-power/directional 3G
transmitters to send SMS messages to travellers' cell phones as they
enter airports with messages like "Remember to turn off your cell
phone before entering the screening queue." "Please do not joke
about bomb, explosive or other security threats." and so forth.

Of course not.  That could actually be useful.  (I think it was Frankfurt where they 
had explanatory video running on the screens while you were waiting in the 
security lines--except that the timing of the video left a bit to be desired.)
