I'm hoping this is a temporary over-reaction, or over-stated, or both. However, I've got a trip to the USA in mid-February (coincidentally flying in from Schiphol) that is probably going to be cancelled if this is (as the more extreme rumours have it) a permanent ban on in-flight use of electronics during all stages of flights to the US. And I really don't think I'll be the only person cancelling discretionary visits.
