Someone on Reddit ๐คข was saying this was probably a very clever and creative story that was made up.
The whole story about being from the TSA is unlikely. Only because for development stuff that you want to keep on the downlow, you would use private flights instead of going to your public air terminal.
I simply cannot believe that they'd go back to a non portable format after the Switch's wild success. The dual factor approach is a massive part of its appeal
If it is a true story then the device was probably a dev kit. I don't see them radically changing the hybrid formfactor unless it stops selling well. Or maybe unless there is some radical new direction like going to VR.
