    Would it help to have electronics, phone included, in your checked baggage?

    If not, then people might have to consider smuggling their phone through in a brick of coke. Or put it in a condom and swallow it.

      The airline will have issues with you putting lithium batterys in the hold. This has caused fires and taken planes down. Have to keep elecronics in the cabin where the user and crew can respond on they short and cause a fire.

      Your brick off columbin nose powder is safe to go in the hold.
