    It also means you are required to travel with a phone. Some people don’t own a cell phone because they don’t want one, need one, or can’t afford one.

      Is there a lot of overlap between people who can’t afford a cellphone and are taking flights?

        Not a lot, maybe, but in cases where someone else is paying for the flight, there may be some. And there are a fair number of older people who may be able to afford the plane ticket, but carry a dumb flip phone because that’s what they understand and can operate.

      Pshaw! Who wouldn’t want an expensive personal tracking and monitoring device?!
