I imagine one can use the movable bits of a seat as a lever and break a phone in two accidentally leading to an open lithium battery.

- dotancohen 3y agoHow plausible is it that somebody would crush a phone deliberately, considering that it involves only items already allowed on board? Or a team of people doing this throughout the aircraft?

- stevenwoo 3y agoA good point. Maybe it just shows a.) how much of what we are required to do is security theater b.) that it does not reliably work in making an uncontrollable fire so that is why it is not used as instrument of terror. I've accidentally opened a couple of batteries while repairing phones and they did not burst into flames, though I remember furiously googling and putting them in a bucket of water outside after a minute or two.
