Homeland Security spokesman David Lapan confirmed to reporters Tuesday that the administration is considering expanding the ban on laptops, An expanded ban on devices larger than cellphones could potentially include "more than a couple" other regions, including flights from Western Europe.

Let me guess. No more cell phone cameras?

Nope. Can’t have passengers taking video of how we treat them.

[Yaelle]

Yes, no phones, Tablets, or laptops. Just rent one of the airline’s tablets. The one used to watch 8 hours of porn by the guy on the previous flight.

Agreed. I almost always drive if I can get to my destination in 13 hours or less. I always drive if I can get there in 11 hours or less. Hate flying now with a deep abiding passion. International is the only time I have to fly every single time, and it is awful.

This is a nightmare for business travelers whose entire business software, database (not to mention personal data!) is on a laptop.

I’m going to Europe for a month later this Summer. During that time I will need to handle some number of business requests that require access to my software database. Hence I MUST take my laptop with me.

The problem with putting it in the luggage (other than the danger of combustible batteries in the hold) is: a. danger of damage/theft and b. danger of my entire identity being stolen if “a” happens. Normally the da*ned thing is glued to my hand.

I’m thinking I’ll need to strip the unit of all personal data, and carry the software/databases on a thumb drive, and then reinstall once at destination (or if the worst happens reinstall on a new laptop).

Not happy at all about this. If anyone has any other ideas I’d like to hear them.

I'm waiting for somebody to pilot a small private or hi-jacked charter plane into a wide-body passenger flight filled to capacity with innocent people who stripped themselves of their personal data devices and an abundance of liquid personal care products so that they could prove worthy of being packed like sardines into a winged tin can. Those are the ones lucky to not be bumped for an over-book.

It's not the energy in the battery, but the c4 in the battery. Muslims have started packing batteries with explosives.

Stupid pet tricks curiosity of the NWO.
