After the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 fiasco the Federal Aviation Authority has now banned the handset from flight in the US and taking the device on a flight could get you up to 10 years in jail.
It is now a federal crime to take the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 onto any US flight and anyone who does could be fined up to $179,933 as well as possibly going to jail.
Any person failing to comply with this Order is subject to civil penalties of up to $179,933 for each violation for each day they are found to be in violation (49 U.S.C. 5123). A person violating this Order may also be subject to criminal prosecution, which may result in fines under title 18, imprisonment of up to ten years, or both (49 U.S.C. 5124).
