Re: Just returned from Holiday
Even if they checked the serial number they can only tell if it is one of the affected ones, not whether it has been fixed.
This is a rather pointless advisory. I can only assume it is being announced to try to urge people with one of the affected ones to get it fixed, by making them fear they won't be able to take it with them on the plane. In reality no one is going to stop them, any more than airlines stopped people bringing a Galaxy Note 7 on the plane with them.
