This is what happens if you try to sneak a Galaxy Note 7 onto an airplane
In the wake of Samsung officially axing Galaxy Note 7 production last week, the FAA this past Friday banned all Note 7 devices from U.S. flights. Whereas previous bans prevented passengers from charging or using a Note 7 device in the air, the Note 7 is now classified as a forbidden hazardous material because it may "cause an ignition or a dangerous evolution of heat or become a fuel source for fire."

It makes me shake my head in wonder why people won't comply with safety orders. Many many Hondas and other autos were recalled for safety issues with their airbags. It was so bad in some cases, Honda was issuing loaner cars while they waited for replacement parts. That screams of danger to me. Yet some people elect to die rather than bring their car in for a repair the will cost nothing. This is just a portable telephone and I have to ask why. It can't be that they didn't hear of the problem. You just can't fix stupid or stubborn.

It is impossible for TSA to know whether you have a Note 7 or a 6 or what kind of phone you carry. They could delay the process by inspecting every phone but that is unlikely unless enough people cheat and their phone ignites. Just like turning your phone off at departure, people do cheat and leave theirs on. These kinds of regulations rely on our cooperation, not on enforcement by the authorities. Complying just isn't that hard. And, who wants a product that might catch fire in your pocket or purse?
I'm walking around with a grenade in my pocket, it hasn't gone off, why should I get rid of it?
DEERRRR!
DEERRRR!
Add inflight safety briefing of tell the stewardess if you notice a person has a note7.
At my airline...yes they do make that announcement. ..."blah, blah, if you bring a Samsung Note 7 on the airplane it is against Federal law and a felony punishable by up to XYZ. So if you have one please let us know right away and we will mail it home to you." Or something lie that.
That would be equally difficult because unless you really know your cell phones and/or you have it in hour hand, many of them look alike.
