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

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

      Anyone with a valid US visa is exempt from requiring a transit visa to fly to US through Frankfurt. Hence direct flight ban prevents what?

      If the argument is that the ground staff at those airports are colluding, would then need to ban all direct flights. They'd thwart your ban.

      worse, placing batteries in checked luggage is a safety risk. This is madness.

          Most charitable reading is there is a credible threat of assembling a bomb out of lithium ion + laptop components—requiring universal ban.

          speaking of batteries, does the ban say anything about the giant 20K+ mAH batteries people carry to recharge their phones on the go?
