the way of The cross of Samsung continues. While the world number one has decided to stop the production and sale of the Note 7 because its batteries are explosive, the authorities americans come to mean to users who have not yet exchanged their terminal that it was permanently banned on aircraft departing from or arriving in the United States. Once again, this is unprecedented.
The ban comes into force on Saturday, at 16h, and the passengers recalcitrant violators risk confiscation of their equipment, as well as to fines or even prosecution, says the department of Transport (DOT) in a press release. “All those who violate the ban may be the object of criminal prosecution in addition to fines,” says the DOT in its press release. The airlines will also deny boarding passengers who refuse to separate themselves from their phone.
“We recognize that banning these phones in aircraft is going to annoy some of the passengers, but the safety of all those who are on board an aircraft must have the priority,” commented the american minister of Transport, Anthony Foxx.
Unlike previous weeks, the smartphone no longer even have the right to board off the aircraft. This time, it is no longer allowed to board even in the luggage. There can no longer be shipped. The prohibition is total, but may be difficult to implement. Will there be a requirement to search all passengers in search of the so-called phablet ?
The us authorities have reiterated their calls to return the devices complained to their manufacturer. “The risk of fire (…) is just too big for anyone to take the risk and do not respond to the recall official” of the device introduced by Samsung, said Elliot Faye, the president of the united states agency of consumer safety (CPSC), also quoted in the press release.
