Why this phrase

Japanese airlines pulled power banks out of the overhead bin in July 2025, then tightened the rest of it on 24 April 2026: two per person, 160 watt hours or under, and no recharging the battery itself in flight. Checked baggage was never allowed. The cabin announcement goes out in Japanese first, and the word it turns on is 手元, meaning within reach.
