Phenomenon isn't strangely Middle-Eastern. I've been on many a US shuttle flight with the phenomenon taking place.
I recall one United cabin crew announcing "Please remain in your seats with your seatbelts fastened until the plane comes to a complete stop. We are trained to detect such actions. The jangling belt clasps and their hanging down from your seats in the aisle is a dead giveaway."
