Abstract
A system for protection from potentially hazardous personal devices includes a passenger interaction console co-located proximate to a passenger seat of a vehicle and usable by a user seated at the passenger seat, an isolation chamber configured to store a potentially hazardous personal device, an access control module configured to confirm that the user is authorized to use the potentially hazardous personal device and enable the user to access the potentially hazardous personal device in response to confirming that the user is authorized to use the potentially hazardous personal device. A corresponding method includes determining a passenger seat location for a user, accessing seat assignment information for the user, confirming that user is assigned to the passenger seat location, and enabling the user to access a potentially hazardous device stored within an isolation chamber corresponding to the passenger seat.
