Seems like Airplane is the only way to disable network connectivity other than keeping it unplugged so it dies

Tap for spoiler

Edit: found solution (System Settings > Flight Mode > Flight Mode > Wi-Fi (Off), BluetoothR (On)

      You are seriously misunderstanding TSA’s purpose.

      And the issue with wireless communications in airplanes was never that it was a huge risk by itself, it was always that there’s a small chance that it could increase noise enough that some important communication might potentially be missed or misinterpreted. And there are lots of things that factor in the risk, like power, bands, and the amount of people not following the rules - it’s very different to have one person forgetting to shut off the cellular signal on the phone or to have 200 phones on full blast mode trying to reach the nearest antenna.

        Eh doubt. Everyone’s on their LTE nowadays…

        It’s no different than 200 ppl exiting an underground tunnel on a train.

        Again, if ever there was real concern, all devices would have to be surrendered.

          Let’s pretend for a second that the TSA is not a circus meant to appease people that are not paying too much attention being performed by an organisation that’s effectively an employer of last resort.

          The TSA will not even stop people from taking what they would need to make a Molotov cocktail with what they can buy in the airport shop. Their stated goal is not to reduce the risk of incidents to 0 is reducing it to reasonable level with the least disruption to the air travelers as possible - otherwise they would be trying to get people to fly naked and without luggage.
