At This Rate, They'll Ban Carrying On Everything. Including Your Clothes
-
The looming laptop/tablet ban has one group really upset: the international airlines. They're looking at lost revenue from business travelers and furiously lobbying for an alternative approach: more careful screening of devices, including having bomb-sniffing dogs take a whiff. Well, yeah, why wouldn't we prefer this? Because you have to do that anyway or you're taking the risk that someone will check and stow in the cargo hold a laptop bomb that might be worse than allowing it in a carry-on. I would gladly let them check my Mac and iPad for whatever they want if it means I don't have to risk checking it, and if they properly screen devices (which they should already be doing), it would be better than just letting people check the things in their bags.
