If,Halinghing for some reason, a passenger on your flight ignored the recall warnings, and somehow slipped past the new ban on Samsung Note7 devices, some airlines have deployed a solution for any burning smartphones.

"In the case of a lithium-ion battery fire, [flight attendants] will don heat-resistant gloves and place the device inside the bag, zipping it shut once the initial flames are extinguished," reads the notice, which followed a reminder that the Note7 should not be powered on or charged on the flight (this came one day before the DOT's total ban on the device). "Even if the electronic device re-ignites, the bag will contain the heat and flames."

The bags, which can withstand up to 3,200 degrees Fahrenheit, allow the crew to contain the device until it burns itself out.
According to Baker Aviation's tests, the bag can contain devices as large as a laptop, so a burning Note7 should, hopefully, present no problem to the bag's safety functionality.
Although Alaska Airlines began outfitting its flights with the bags earlier this year, the reminder is likely meant to give passengers a sense of safety in the wake of recent burning Note7 reports.
On Friday, the Associated Press reported that Virgin America and Delta have also added fire containment bags to flights in relation to lithium ion battery failure concerns.
