Or 3: the administration had nothing to do with it, and it's an actual security measure based on actual terrorist threats. Which might explain why Canada and the UK (you know, Five Eyes countries with whom the US shares intelligence) also did the same thing. Seriously, Trump Derangement Syndrome is getting a bit nutty. http://www.news1130.com/2017/03/20/ban-aimed-at-electronics-in-cabins-of-some-us-bound-flights/ http://www.news1130.com/2017/03/20/ban-aimed-at-electronics-...

We're talking about moving laptops from the passenger cabin to checked luggage, as a purported security measure. Not sure why Canada and UK doing something similar would be make it any more likely to be a true terrorist threat, you point out already that it's Five Eyes so they're our friends. Calling this "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is pretty damn nutty, besides being whiny.

  >We're talking about moving laptops from the passenger cabin to checked luggage, as a purported security measure. Yes, just like moving liquids to your checked luggage was a security measure. Remember that one? Tried to take a bottle of water through security lately? >Not sure why Canada and UK doing something similar would be make it any more likely to be a true terrorist threat Because Canada and the UK aren't likely to be in on your "it must be a muslim ban" conspiracy theory? >Calling this "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is pretty damn nutty, besides being whiny. Take it up with Fareed. That you think it's "whiny" does not change the fact that large parts of the left seem to have lost the capacity to distinguish normal from abnormal behaviour on the part of the Trump administration. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/liberals-have-to-avoid-trump-derangement-syndrome/2017/04/13/81ff4a7a-2083-11e7-a0a7-8b2a45e3dc84_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/liberals-have-to-avo...

  The original comment speculating that this move is Trump distracting from the Comey news is pretty damn nutty.

Even your own link states that Canada has implemented no such policy.

  No, but they seriously considered it, and said they were basing their consideration on information that had been shared with them. Which would suggest it was not an attempt to impose a Muslim ban.
