FAA Urges Passengers to Not Use Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on Planes

It would be unenforceable. You can't make airport staff verify that the passenger is using a Pixel C or Xperia Z4 rather than a Galaxy Note. You'd be lucky if they don't just call them all iPads.

Unenforceability doesn't seem to block FAA or TSA policy from making other policies..

Probably, but it does have to pass through security. I suspect it'd be easy enough to do a closer inspection of items of a certain size?

I'm sitting here in the gates at Newark, and apparently United has already taken it upon themselves to do so.
