U.S. 'might' expand laptop ban to all international flights
- ColinWright 9y agoFWIW, I recently took a flight from Belgrade via Istanbul to Birmingham (UK). Hand luggage only, no checked luggage. At Istanbul they took my laptop from me, gave me a receipt, packed it in bubble-wrap, put that in a suitcase, and put it in the hold. Yes, I got it back in the baggage reclaim area, but it was cold - seriously cold - I didn't dare turn it on for several hours to let the disk warm up slowly. This is making international travel a complete crap-shoot. Take precautions people.
