Nowadays, to leave an airplane is to "deplane". Nobody "disembarks"
any more (This is probably for safety reasons). Lately, they've taken to 
asking that passenger not dismantel the smoke detectors in the bathrooms. 
It's become part of the chanting ritual with the seat belt and the face mask
that they go through before every flight. I wonder how long until they start
telling passengers not to "disdetectorize the bathroom."
