    An Air France flight to the Caribbean returned to Paris last week after a passenger could not locate their cellphone, taking the “precautionary measure” to avoid a safety hazard if the unattended phone overheated. It was the airline’s second Caribbean-bound flight to turn around because of a phone since early February as the aviation industry grapples with the risk of fires sparked by lithium batteries.

        Then there was a pilot who realized mid-flight that he didn't have his passport with him. Turn it around!

          Well, seeing as searching phones is now a thing, maybe it's just safer all the way around to not carry a phone.
