What a shame that security has come to this. There would be zillions of pix around from years gone by of people snapping away even at the guy refueling the plane itself well b4 security became stupid!!!!
What's the flash point of kero? Around 38 deg's or so. So for a Mob Ph to be of any real threat the day would have to be damned hot, vapors would have to be present with virtually zero wind & a source of ignition for the juice to explode, a Mob Ph is the least of anyone's concerns. Sh*t how many planes have been fueled whilst there has been a source of ignition within striking range? There's not enuf ink in my keyboard here to type it out
What about servo's? hot day, petrol (which has a flash point way blw zero meaning it can ignite just looking at it!) & any No of people using their Mob Ph's not to mention plenty of other sources of ignition within close prox.
And don't get me started on Mob Ph having to be turned off in flight!!!
The worlds gone nuts...........

Kero & Mob Ph's, yep damn dangerous, ban 'em both!
