I don't work in this field, why are you asking me? I just thought it was amusing how we're allowed to take these phones, and yes I was making a nod towards people being very addicted to their phones these days.

But if I were to speculate, I mean performance shows have yonder bags today. They could be checked in with the rest of luggage in special boxes that you pick up at luggage claim.

They're banned in checked luggage, yes, but this would be packed by the airport authority into specialized luggage compartments.
