So with all these laptop bans on aircraft I expect more international travelers will be going by ship or rail. Also it will create a trade in rental laptops for travelers, with all the security implications which go along with that.

@thomask as conspiratorial as that sounds, you may be right

@orionwl yes, might boost low end laptop sales. Hmmm, I wonder who lobbied for these bans. There's a chin-scratcher.

@tomas and as internet security slowly improves implanting the end points, via whatever method, will be increasingly attractive to the usual suspects.

@jd @adam the thing about these government-type things is that they usually have commercial implications. It may be better to consider governments and corporations to be the same entity with aligned interests. Different heads of the capitalist hydra. So some new rule blocks competition, generates new commercial activity (rented/burner laptops, etc). More rigging of the system by the same folks. The usual neolib game.

@jd @adam well yes, there is volume 2. But as a first approximation. They have great class consciousness and solidarity among the 0.1%
