BryanTX User ID: 73305491 United States 05/31/2017 04:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A 'slow frog boiling' ... 1st ban laptops ...tablets with cameras ... next smartphones with cameras (That got United in trouble when they assaulted the doctor and dragged him off the plane.) Banning laptops will destroy the biggest demographic of business class flyers. |

I don't mind being asked where I'm going, how long I'm staying, etc., but I resent the "norm" of being forced to walk bare-foot through an x-ray machine and generally being treated like a criminal. And don't get me started on how the seat sizes (even in business class) have shrunk. Train travel might be slower, but it's far superior in comfort and civility. Plus, it's easier on your body. I hope never to have to fly again. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26114015 well the problem with that is people aren't honest...they won't declare their contraband. that's why TSA has a sale about every 6 months with items that people know shouldn't be brought on board. how about everyone flies naked, no luggage, that has to be shipped separately. |

I know its not perfect but its something everyone SHOULD do anyways just to protect your valuable laptop and keep the govs hands off it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 71114904 United States 05/31/2017 05:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Homeland security is debating on banning laptop on airlines (international flats they say). Quoting: TeamReaper Well guess what just happened...a laptop catches fire at 38,00p feet. Emergency landing in Michigan [link to www.fox5ny.com] Problem - Reaction - Solution Same shit, different day.. It never ever seems to end with this tactic. Will the public ever figure it out and stop their damn agenda? Let's not forget the aftermath of the Underwear Bomber and Shoe Bomber.. I can see the day in 3 or 4 years' time when FULL BODY CAVITY SEARCHES will be a mandatory requirement to fly on a commercial airline in the US. Think I'm just kidding? Trust me, they will try anything ... as long as YOU LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT.. |
