This is just getting ridiculous. Can't take carry on luggage? No laptop?! Then what is the freeking point of having a laptop anyway. Also, I predict that lasts about 4 seconds until Virgin Atlantic and the other British carrieers have to start paying more than the cost of a ticket everytime they break someones computer.
From Slashdot Also, can I get a terrorist to try and conceal explosives in their clothes so the airlines/government can learn just how assinine inspecting/banning every article ever used to try and conceal a device in is. Pretty soon you are going to have to fly naked and have a thourough cavity inspection just so you can have the illusion of being safe.
