What is the reason to not allow smartphones and laptops in checked baggage?
score:5
Accepted answer
It is easier to handle a burning phone or laptop, if it is in the cabin, instead of the cargo hold.
Lithium batteries can catch fire pretty quickly, which already caused at least one plane crash.
Regarding small handbags, the issue here could be the size. Esp. on airports where you have automated baggage systems, small items could fall between gaps etc. and block the whole system.
