Simple Answer To This New Problem With Airports ?
http://
Surely the simple answer answer is put your Mobile, etc into your hold luggage. And why are hundreds of people every day having to discard their nail scissors, Swiss Army knives, etc into bins at passport control ! We have had regulations against these for many years and yet people don't seem to be aware that you can't take sharp objects in your hand luggage any more !

From the TSA site I linked yo ladt night....
Bottled Liquids Scanner
The technology differentiates liquid explosives from common, benign liquids. On September 26, 2006, TSA permitted small amounts of liquids, gels and aerosols in travel size containers, and exempted baby formula/milk/juices, medicines, and other medically-required liquids.

SP, //With regards to sharp implements, yes - I see your point. Since 9/11, I can understand this, and am bemused by people who are surprised by this rule. //
I'm bemused that nail scissors are confiscated, but a couple of glass bottles acquired in the Duty Free shop aren't. A broken bottle in the wrong hands makes a pretty lethal weapon. That's never made sense to me.

Whilst I admit to not looking into this much (I rarely fly, been about 2 decades since my last flight) I'm unsure what this latest demand achieves. A working device can hide/smuggle stuff too can't it ? And if it is a bomb in disguise the airport should already be able to detect it; and getting a screen to show can't be that difficult. I get the impression a lot of this stuff is for the sake of it. I'm not even sure why folk think a pair of nail scissors is going to allow a hijack, or bring down a plane anyway. Insisting batteries are charged so they can trigger the detonator, seems even more odd.
Naomi, common knowledge for those of us of a certain vintage. :)
Customer: Camenbert, perhaps?
Owner: Ah! We have Camenbert, yessir.
Customer: (suprised) You do! Excellent.
Owner: Yessir. It's..ah,.....it's a bit runny...
Customer: Oh, I like it runny.
Owner: Well,.. It's very runny, actually, sir.
Customer: No matter. Fetch hither the fromage de la Belle France! Mmmwah!
Owner: I...think it's a bit runnier than you'll like it, sir.
Customer: I don't care how f*cking runny it is. Hand it over with all speed.

Whiskeryron,
There is an whole array of scanners that you and your luggage are subjected to when boarding a plane. Most of the checks are automated and quick. The stop checks are a visible addition to a very complete search system. The scenario of swallowed explosives would not work. Passengers pass a scan that can see them. Which is how drug mules are usually caught.
Proving every device taken on a plane is charged would be very time consuming. Most passengers these days have at least two, phone and tablet/e-reader/laptop. Check in times will have to be much longer, the costs of a flight will have to rise, and passenger discomfort will increase. Probably the best advice will be to avoid going to the United States unless you have to.
