That woman was simply telling the truth. A cellphone with a lithium ion battery is a bomb. A small bomb to be sure, but on an airplane even small bombs can be dangerous. The day will come when all carryon baggage and clothing will be banned. You will be required to strip naked at the airport, and put on a regulation air travel robe. If you want to bring anything else on board it will have to be packed in the pockets of a transparent plastic roll, which will be duly xrayed and unrolled by security personnel who will then inspect the contents. There will be a special "pill pocket" section for any medications required on board. No electronic devices will be allowed except special tablets with removable batteries which can function when being plugged into the aircraft power supply. Things like batteries and cellphones will need to be checked in the special small baggage section along with your street clothes, and will be transported in a special bomb-proof cargo hold just in case.
