    Most portable electronics today use some variation of lithium ion batteries, which when it becomes unstable can combust/explode if mishandled. However, devices generally have thermal management software and hardware, as well as multitude of other safety mechanisms like power management systems to handle charge regulation. Unless you intentionally puncture your batteries, they’re not likely to cause any problems on their own.

      I guess the question I am asking is how do I know someone hasn’t placed a bomb inside as is now happening with other devices in the world? (See current news)

        You don’t. Try not to piss off any national governments, especially unhinged ones (Russia, China, US, Israel, etc.)

                Yeah the best example is probably the Japanese internment camps during WW2. You don’t have ‘rights’, you have privileges. Rights can’t be taken away.
