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.

Chromebook. Not Gmail, which is different than using a Chromebook. They don't have your data; you can turn history off.

Unfortunately, open source is not safer than a properly sandboxed system. (See heartbleed, and all the Firefox weaknesses).
