I think the fear is that the user's phone is in the checked luggage.

At least in the USA, cell phones are allowed checked luggage. However, they are supposed to be powered of and "protected up prevent unintentional activation or damage".

I realize this was an Air France flight, but I suspect the checked rules are nearly the same.
