Cell phones are excluded from the ban, according to this article. That makes it highly unlikely that prevention of ability to text is the goal. I know very few people who text on their tablet, laptop, or camera.
- KirinDave 10y agoCell phones are most likely excluded because they're so obnoxiously hard to compromise compared to laptops. Cell phones, you need per-hardware exploits and the vendors patch aggressively. When was the last time your laptop's USB controllers had a firmware upgrade for security hardening?
- bzbarsky 10y agoThat's a reasonable argument if the goal is being able to examine the devices. Nothing to do with texting, though. ;)
