Well, the weight of the sticker is negligable, so it doesn't have to be
recorded.
If someone were to remove the ashtray than that's not only more work, but
someone would have to record the change in the airplanes logs and the weight
and balance of the aircraft would have to be re-calculated.
Ridiculous? Well, it's those regulations that make air travel as save as it
is today.

Compare that to those people who behave like 3 year old toddlers and stomp
their feet on the ground because they are not allowed to take photos during
the most critical phases of flight.

If you read the main thread, I was questionning whether the use of digital
cameras during flight could cause interference to an aircraft's navigation
systems. I wanted to understand why there should be a ban on digital
photography during takeoffs and landings. About 720 postings were made in
that usenet thread, which shows how many issues are involved. People who
took part in that thread were not "stomping their feet on the ground", they
were happy to obey the airlines' rules, but they wanted to understand why
there is a ban on digital photography during critical phases of a flight.
They also wanted to know whether this ban also applies to the use of older
film cameras.
