The U.S. Department of Transportation has taken the next step on the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 fire danger by banning these devices from being carried onto all airliners starting tomorrow, October 15, 2016. If you are one of the recall holdouts, keeping your Note 7 despite the mandatory safety recall, you will not be permitted to carry your phone onto any US domestic or foreign flight leaving from a US Airport after tomorrow. . . even in checked baggage. So, bite the bullet, get out the return box Samsung is supplying, put on the blue safety gloves, carefully place your phone into the supplied fireproof baggy, the double box it in the supplied fireproof safety boxes, with the supplied insulating material, and call the ground transportation (it can only be shipped by truck) and return it to Samsung for either a refund or replacement with another, safer model phone. Keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't explode while your packing it. (I think you'll be safe. . . maybe.) — PING!

Pinging dayglored, ThunderSleeps, and Shadow Ace for their lists. — PING!

This is why you
1) Do extensive product testing BEFORE launching a product
And
2) Do NOT ignore the results of the testing if you do not like the results.

I do not believe for a second, that any competent test engineer did not reveal catestrophic design problems with this phone design, that were flagrantly and intentionally ignored.

I am seeing B-52’s dropping them on our enemies.
Turn them on as they exit the B-52. Incinerate our enemies!
