Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic

Al Jazeera have a theory that the ban is intended to protect American airlines from their Gulf state competitors. Full article linked here: US electronics ban for Middle East flights draws doubts

What a stupid move! Stupid until this happens  If they are acting on intelligence, then let it be. After all, they have a responsibility upon their land/people, "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

Have you been to any airport in Europe? You are required to take off your laptop and its scanned alone. If you are travelling from UAE to Ethiopia(Africa) so that you can eventually blow up after 24+ hrs, you will blow in the skies. That scenario can only be used as a case study.

If anything your bag once its checked in can be opened and perused. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.
