This is, at least for now, a rather pointless rant.
You can turn your phone off completely. I don't know what he means about "burns battery for the 5 minutes it takes to boot up", but my iPhone boots up in about a minute (I'll admit I haven't timed it, but it's WAY quicker than 5) and I never notice significant battery drain.
Also, it's pretty rare that you go past the TSA doc-checker drone and through the X-ray in under 5 minutes. So, just leaving your phone alone (tossing it in your bag) after you do the boarding pass scan would solve this "problem" for 99% of the common cases.
In the scenarios where you DO go from doc check to all the way through security in under 5 minutes things are usually so light at the check-in line that it is pretty easy to keep an eye on your stuff, and any handling of it that the TSA agents may be doing.
- erifneerg 15y agoI really think it's a setting he didn't notice or understand. There is the auto lock function which just puts your phone to the lock screen. Then there is the timer for when you need to type in your pass code once your lock screen is turned on(either from you hitting the sleep button or from the time out). So the failure i can see is the writers own for not understanding the difference.
- r00fus 15y agoAnother solution is to simply put the passcode requirement to "Immediately" just before going into the line. It is annoying, and I'm glad jwz pointed it out. Disappointing that we have to worry about security drones going through our email/personal records. TSA sucks.
