IS armies marching down the street... OK sure what was that about grasp on reality?

Also you might want to look up "apologetics" in a dictionary. And explain who you think I'm standing up for.

Anyway you;re probably right. Saying mean things about brown people on the internet will surely prevent those IS armies. You're making a real difference, fight the good fight.

You have an issue with sarcasm? OK, you seem to have an issue with almost everything else so why not.

So the chap in London today presumably stabbed someone with a sharpened iPad; if only they brought this rule in earlier.

With every apologetic post you confirm a lack of grasp of reality that would embarrass Trump / Mugabe / that dingleberry in North Korea. What exactly are you trying to prove? When the IS armies come marching down your street you can say "I stood up for you, really I did"?
You think that's going to help you? FFS, you have a strange interpretation of reality.

Just like this chap and his 94 iPhones....

North Korea's IronMan prototype was met with mixed levels of enthusiasm.....

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

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.

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

I don't see the problem.

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.
