I'm afraid that the only sensible answer might end up being no more right to repair, no more phones from smaller manufacturers and no more unauthorized parts.

Something like, if it goes through an airport, it has to have enough charge to turn on, and all the parts need to deliver a cryptographic signature (via an USB-C connection) that they're genuine and that they haven't been tampered with. Your phone is from a Chinese manufacturer? Good luck entering the US.
It's that or no electronic on flights, not even in checked-in luggage,, and that won't fly (no pun intended) in 2024.
That's assuming airport scanners are genuinely incapable of detecting this kind of sabotage, and I hope that this assumption is wrong.
