US Considering Banning Laptops on All International Flights to the US
- sharemywin 9y agoMaybe next we could ban all passengers on all flights. I imagine that would drastically cut down on the risks.
- ColinWright 9y agoI made this comment elsewhere[0], but repeat it here: FWIW, 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. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14436259 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14436259
