Narrative:

Not long after takeoff we became aware of a burning electrical smell. We noticed that it was through-out the entire cabin and it didn't seem to be coming from any laptop batteries. The passenger noticed it as well and a few were becoming anxious. The #1; #3 flight attendants and the captain were more involved and made several PA's. Within minutes we were on our way. Once at the gate; fire and rescue boarded and checked for heat and found none.
