Texting-while-walking could become a crime in Illinois: Several officials, including the Illinois secretary of state, have
voiced approval for a bill that would outlaw the practice.
Is this merely the next logical step after so many states and cities have passed bans on using handheld cell phones while driving? Or is this a pointless step too far?
More importantly, would you be affected? Are you a texter-walker?
