I have this classic "Bag Check" XKCD cartoon taped to my wall.
The TSA actually did respond to this cartoon.
Some of the comments in that response may be helpful to you.
Phones and Laptops have started fires in peoples homes and on airplanes.
The risks are real. Today we have somewhat better charger designs.
The most often failure is using a replacement battery that has fake certifications.
In my Day Job I have to deal with UL1642 that deals with Lithium Batteries, you should look that up. I've had one China based manufacture try to self-certify their products with this comment: "Battery burst into flames but did not ignite Cheesecloth". Thereby proving I could use their product. Sorry, I can't have any flames.
