To minimize the risk of a Galaxy Note 7 exploding onboard an airplane, the FAA has already warned passengers against using the handset while they're on a plane. The Indian government has now banned the Galaxy Note 7 from check-in baggage. Passengers will only be allowed to keep the Galaxy Note 7 inside cabin luggage and they will be required to keep the device switched off at all times while they're in a plane. “The order comes into immediate effect. This has been issued keeping air safety in mind,” confirmed India's chief of Directorate General of Civil Aviation B S Bhullar. The ban followed soon after the FAA released its warning regarding the Galaxy Note 7.
