Predicted TSA response: ban iPhones.

I have a very, very low opinion of the TSA.

Unless you put it in a one quart ziplock baggie. Then it's cool.

And they'll sell you a "safer" iphone on the other side for $900!

Jokes apart, does someone know if the same thing could be done by an iPhone?

More likely they'll have you wrap it in aluminum foil.

Predicted TSA response: ban airplanes. I don't even know what TSA does.

No, it's simpler than this. Just put Hugo Teso on the no-fly list. Then have him arrested for terrorism if he tries to enter the US.

Interesting. American Airlines just purchased a bunch (33K) of Android phones to deploy to their flight crews.

Predicted TSA response: Removal of all electronics on board.

No, the right analogy for them would be "ban the specific android phone the researcher was using".
