You probably can't fit a large enough explosive in a cell phone battery compartment to reliably crash a plane by exploding it anywhere in the passenger cabin, though that seems like more of an airport security thing than a customs thing.
If you use phone to carry explosive, and a separate device to direct the explosion you can cause a lot of (directed) destruction.
But maybe not crash the airplane as a result.
We've seen them lose a door and the front third fo the roof before, they're surprisingly robust
Aloha air? 1988? Yeah man that one lives with me on how safe planes really can be considered.
As long as it doesn't have an auto pilot feature that makes you nosedive to counter a completely mismanaged weight and design flaw.
