Deliberately (?) misleading headline. The devices are not banned from flights. They are banned from being carried as hand luggage
- glandium 10y agoWould you put your tablet or laptop in the checked luggage, though? When you know how they're handled...
- LordWinstanley 10y agoWhether I would trust baggage handling or not isn't really the point. Almost every news outlet is headlining this story that these devices are being 'banned' from flights, which is simply not true. They're being 'banned' from being carried on as hand luggage. You might as well say that "changes of clothes" are banned from flights, seeing as most people's suitcases are not allowed to be carried on as hand luggage either. I know the truth doesn't make for as interesting a headline. But it's irritating to see the [allegedly] quality press increasingly adopting the tactics of the click-bait trash pedlars.
