Im wondering why the DOT waited till now to ban them...this ban should have been implemented months ago when they first started catching fire..Here's hoping more of these "Samsung airport replacement booths" pop up at airports all over.

It's pretty much guaranteed that someone, who wont part with their phone, will sneak one onto a plane.

Leave 'em behind. Or risk getting removed from the flight...or worse. You could be prosecuted.

As for the phones...CRUSH 'EM

I was to have been in Iceland when this ban was put in place. What would I have done with my Note 7? As it happens, I didn't face that problem but I'm sure many travelers are. Do they just leave their Note 7 behind? How do they then get a replacement? I'm sure Samsung didn't have "replacement kiosks" in every airport in the world when this ban was announced. And even if your A/P has one, how many travelers would be aware they have to arrive extra early to exchange their phone?
