Luckily, I am always comforted by carrying my small steam engine on my lap.

In the past, TSA required the customer prove a carry-on laptop powers up but this caused long lines so they stopped the practice.

Couldn't we just disband the TSA instead?

ML/NJ

So, only a fool checks their laptop, but they don’t allow it on the plane as carry-on?

Looks like it’s time to buy stock in Dagney Taggart’s railroad.

Again... We keep conforming in altering the ways of our lives because of a few.

another of the thousands of small oppressions, fees, and tyrannies we face to pay for our masters’ obsession with “multiculturalism.”

Very soon, no more laptops as carry-on

Very soon, no more international business travel.

While that will be annoying, it makes sense. Most people have no idea about the amount of energy stored in typical laptop batteries. It is a LOT.

Pretty soon, to avoid the risk of terrorists on board planes, passengers will be banned.

The eventual goal is to get rid of cellphones. That way, they won’t have any more of those embarassing vids posted on youtube.

Soon no more laptops as checked baggage either. Dangerous lithium batteries.

Just stop with the carry on. In the event of a plane crash, if it was survivable, most likely your neck would be broken when the overhead bins break loose and fall on your head.
Try checking your luggage sometime. It makes you laugh at those struggling with bags.

Great idea.
Make passengers put their laptops in the checked luggage where the baggage-smashers can steal them.
Oh, and make the passengers PAY for that checked luggage.

This isn't going to sit well with all the business travelers who work on the planes.

Also, the airlines removed all the entertainment systems and now offer "personal" entertainment that uses your own tablets and computers on their wifi. What will happen if all the personal electronics are banned, leaving the airlines with no entertainment revenue?

This will be just another way for airlines to make money.

They will rent you one of theirs.
