      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.

          Also, a kindle e-reader has a 750 mAh battery. An iPhone 7s Plus has a 2900 mAh battery. The former is banned, the latter is not.

          But then it's possible to buy a ticket to a non-US destination and a ticket to the US & go through security with the non-US ticket.

          There's supposed to be additional security on US-bound flights, but in practice there isn't always.
