I do get pulled aside for "enhanced screening" consistently while transiting Europe :-)

I'm sure you didn't actually mean it that way though :-)

A sibling comment made me recheck the rules and it does seem like phones and other small rechargeable devices are allowed in checked baggage.

Maybe I've been unconsciously extending "power banks and rechargeable batteries" to also mean device when questioned.

Except that one time in Latin America where they would only let me put my ultra-compact camera in checked baggage if I took out the batteries.
