Stuff may get stolen. Forces having checked luggage. If laptops are dangerous, aren't they dangerous in cargo? Bring phone with keyboard.

Also if laptops *are* a threat, they should obviously be banned universally. A terrorist can obviously fly through Europe or South America.

If you're a journalist or an activist, fly with a chromebook. Carry minimal sensitive info anyway. Put it in an encrypted USB—always on you.

OK. Though my experience is that checked bags are less inspected. Istanbul airport often forces turning on laptops.https://twitter.com/alastairjam/status/844148009319522305 …

Also a phablet phone is okay? It has a much bigger battery than, say, a Kindle e-reader.

If airline or ground crew is colluding, that is indeed a *huge* problem; this won't protect one bit though.https://twitter.com/frogjumpsin/status/844149538436743168 …

This will drastically reduce business and family travel through those airlines. People will fly through Europe hubs. https://twitter.com/cory_foy/status/844149569894211586 …

These are people on direct flights, therefore with visa or exemption to US. They thus have other options.https://twitter.com/lightlight/status/844151175964479488 …

This argues that the cargo hold (where laptops now go) is not any safer (no access).https://twitter.com/filosottile/status/844159070726770688 …

Yet to hear a convincing threat model for banning laptops only from cabin only on flights only from few countries. Dangerous=universal ban.
