According to some airlines if the device doesn't switch on / boot not only does it not travel, neither do you ..

It can be summarized like this:

If you bring an electronic device onboard, a TSA officer may require that you to demonstrate that you can use the device. This means that when you get to security, either the device must already be on (as most phones are) or can be booted in front of the officer.

So the warning is to make sure that the battery of your device is charged before you go to security. If you are unable to start your device because of low battery, or if the battery isn't working, the TSA will not allow the device on the aircraft, you will have to leave it behind.

It appears they are looking for devices that look on the outside like phones and laptops but do not function because they have ... other ...
things inside.
