If they don't take away our phones, I guess it'll be a bit of reading on that and then audio books the rest of the way.
For those of us who only do carry-on, does that mean we now have to check a bag? Or will the banned electronics be bagged and checked separately?

Most airports will make get out of line and go back to arrivals to check items not allowed. I have been in two airports that had a mailing area inside security. You could box, pay postage and mail your package directly from security. It was a few years ago that I used these facilities and I do not remember which airports offered this. One was a pocket knife I forgot to leave home. I mailed it home and it was waiting for me when I returned home. I could just as easily mailed it to my travel destination.
