This is a little unsettling. I think they mean business!
 
From Allegiant Air:
U.S. Department of Transportation bans Samsung Galaxy Note7 from aircraft
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has banned all Samsung Galaxy Note7 smartphone devices from air transportation in the United States. Individuals may not transport the device on their person, in carry-on baggage, or in checked baggage on flights to, from, or within the United States. More info: bit.ly/2eptiso
What air travelers should know:
If passengers attempt to travel by air with their Samsung Galaxy Note7 devices, they will be denied boarding.
Passengers who attempt to evade the ban by packing their phone in checked luggage are increasing the risk of a catastrophic incident. Anyone violating the ban may be subject to criminal prosecution in addition to fines.
Passengers currently traveling with Samsung Galaxy Note7 phones should contact Samsung or their wireless carrier immediately to obtain information about how to return their phones and arrange for a refund or a replacement phone. Samsung has provided guidance for customers about refund and replacement options, as well as how to contact wireless carriers, at www.samsung.com/us/n ote7recall/. Samsung is also answering customers’ questions at 1-844-365-6197.
Any person failing to comply with the Emergency Order is subject to civil penalties up to $179,933 for each violation of the Hazardous Materials Regulations. A person violating this Order may also be subject to criminal prosecution, which may result in fines under title 18, imprisonment of up to ten years, or both.

I think most people have traded them back in already. Samsung has encouraged people to send them back for a different model.

I kind of want one now, just for historical value. Show my grandchildren the amazing exploding galaxy note 7.

I almost got one but I usually wait until they go on sale after the next model comes out.
 
I have a note 2, that I got very cheap after the note 3 came out.
