Pilots please note that substituting an inexpensive “retrieve phone”
in the glider for a more capable phone used in daily life can be
expected to avoid any questions in this area.


Hi Tom,

a silly question from someone who is having a really good laugh about
this discussion (I'm from Germany and therefore not affected):

How are you going to conduct the strip search of any pilot entering
his or her glider (in order to stop him/her from smuggeling a
smartphone on board) ...?
