    Right, with that extremely low tolerance would come an extremely high bar of security.

    For example, you can’t have lithium in the cargo, and can’t have compressed gas or knives in the cabin. And what do we see? They prohibit and screen for those things (to the best of their ability).

    They wouldn’t let you have a knife if you promised to keep it in your pocket and not use it.

    Therefore it is clear that, as the article states, airplane mode is not a significant factor for flight safety. Because if it were, they would lock up phones or have implemented a jammer or some other such adjustment
