Crazy idea: Google donates chromebooks to affected airlines to loan to passengers in flight, as headphones were once.

I don't think Chromebooks would pass the device test. If iPads can't get on, what makes you think Chromebooks would?

airline-issued, not brought on board by passengers.

it's a good idea, but i don't think it would pass the test, unfortunately.

laptops and tablets can't be brought on board

you think they would allow Chromebooks - which are laptops, let's be honest - sourced from these countries, on board?

they wouldn't have to be sourced from the countries. They could just as easily be sourced from US

the inflight entertainment system is a computer that runs Linux so what's the difference? Why not have a few more computers
