Samsung Galaxy Note 7 banned from planes

[wmtire]

Just a FYI, in case any of our members has a Samsung Galaxy Note 7, as the FAA and DOT have banned them from all domestic planes starting at noon tomorrow.

The official press release can be found here:

What's not going to be fun, is those people who are already into their travels with this phone in their possession...as they cannot bring it back on a plane after noon tomorrow. Can't put it in your checked luggage or have it shipped as air cargo either.

Use it as a fire starter in an emergency survival kit.

I’ll be flying today and have the Samsung Galaxy EDGE 7. I hope the TSA agents know the difference. I have always hated going through airport security.

Just show him there is no pen in the bottom right corner...They are as of today to have a Samsung agent there. that will take your phone and pay you right out or give you another phone, like the Edge 7.
