No, by the time this ban will now be implemented those bad persons will be able to put the bad stuff in phones! So, then phones will have to be banned as well... (can you imagine the outrage if that were to happen?)

If this ban was to happen, I could see the next step would be to ban anything with a battery from being in a plane. That would mean we would have to ship our devices when we fly.

So let's call this ban not happening a win for the people!

I think cell phones should be banned.

They should be banned from airplanes.
They should be banned from schools.
They should be banned from restaurants.
They should be banned.
They should be.
They should.

Early on - all phones had removable batteries. MFG stopped that to get thinner phones which is causing some problems.

Consumers will have to decide - removable battery or thicker phone. Remove the batteries and get a charging outlet for each seat. That will run the phone.

BTW - it would bother me. My phone is full of reference apps, for nature and astronomy, not social. Social apps first things deleted on new phone. Like some, I can read on the phone if I have to.

The issue seems to have been that he was drunk.

Report: Passenger Who Tried To Access Cockpit Was Arrested At LAX Prior To Flight

So why was this man allowed to board a plane? Why didn't the police check to see if he was a passenger? Why didn't they pass this info on to TSA?

Quote:
Police say a man who caused a disturbance on a flight between Los Angeles and Honolulu had been arrested hours before his flight for opening a door that led onto an airfield ramp at Los Angeles International Airport.

Los Angeles Airport Police say 25-year-old Anil Uskanil of Turkey had opened the door in an airport terminal around 2:45 a.m. Friday. They say he was spotted by a contractor and detained until police officers arrived.

Police say officers determined Uskanil had been drinking but didn’t meet the criteria to be arrested for being drunk in public.

They say Uskanil was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor trespassing and was given a date to appear in court. He then boarded Flight 31 to Honolulu.

My old kobo h2o made it fine in hold luggage back from Turkey last weekend. It's in a gecko case, which I put in a padded envelope and further wrapped in a bit of bubble wrap which went in a towel in the middle of the suitcase. It wasn't a hard case.
There were some problems at the airport though. I'll need the first security queue the guy in front of us got pulled with his iPad in his cabin bag. Then at the check in desk, we saw three people arguing with staff about not being able to take power banks and portable chargers on the plane at all. To be be fair, that part hasn't received as much publicity as the laptop/tablet ban, but I'd seen it on a Web site.
One passenger got as far as final security with her lipstick sized power bank. The staff at the gate had a template, and if your device didn't go through the holes, you weren't getting through with it. She kicked up a proper stink, saying that her device was legal. Of course, you won't win in a situation like that. I saw her get lead away after an age of argument. I think they let her on the plane, but not with the charger.
