Banning laptops from flights handluggage!

[Mordac]

Why would you?

I mean it takes them years to stop airport drug smuggling rings so they aren't going to waste resources on one stolen laptop.

Pretty much this. Drugs are the responsibility of Customs first and foremost. The Police are primarily interested in terrorism. Unless a theft is actually reported, they won't do anything.

Well power & storage wise, one laptop is probably equivalent to, say, four or five mobile phones.

So if they ban laptops, just carry the phones instead, strapped round your waist for convenience.

I don't see the problem.

Not a problem - Just wrap each in its own little plastic bag and tape them round your waist with duct tape.

All it takes is a bit of lateral thinking. It's not rocket science.
