Well, I was hoping to make it through the end of the month with my Note 7, since the phone I want instead (the LG V20) doesn't come out until the 28th. But I fly to Japan on Wednesday, so I'll roll back to my old Galaxy S4 for a while. At least I wasn't in mid-trip already.
I guess I have to side with the DOT on this one -- I'm willing to take the 100-in-2,500,000 risk (or whatever it is) of having a bomb in my pocket, but it's not right to force that risk on passengers.
