Galaxy Note 7 banned US aircraft, an extreme measure … – CNET France



Galaxy Note 7 banned US aircraft, an  extreme measure and impractical

The bad news are linked to Samsung. Last week, we learned that a problem affecting some batteries Galaxy Note 7 had created the explosion of at least 35 PHABLET worldwide. Even if the failure would affect only 24 aircraft in a million, Samsung had decided to recall all outstanding Note 7.

This time, we learn that the federal agency of the US Civil Aviation Authority (FAA), interviewed by Gizmodo risk that could represent the PHABLET aboard an airplane, considering a possible ban on Galaxy Note 7 on flights operated by American companies. However, no decision has been taken yet, and for good reason, such a prohibition may be difficult to apply.

The first problem for the FAA may prohibit the unit on board US aircraft must Samsung officially recalls its Galaxy Note 7. The adverb “officially” very important here, as if Samsung has already launched its recall program, the brand did not follow the procedure “official” in the United States. Normally it takes the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC English) is “involved in the process from the beginning” says Gizmodo.

Then, several questions arise: all Galaxy Note 7 will they be banned? Or only models with failure? In both cases, which will be responsible for implementing the FAA’s decision? Does airport security officers will strictly check the phones of passengers before boarding? All these questions remain unanswered for now.
