The New Laptop Ban Adds to Travelers' Lack of Privacy and Security

I don't get what the rationale for this is. I heard one place that TSA is worried about devices with a bomb hidden inside, but if that bomb is in the cargo hold instead, it is still going to cause great damage.

Logically, the new rule from TSA does not make any sense. The only thing I could think of is, its to kill the business of airlines like Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways. Simple & effective trick.

With all the NRA gun nuts in America, that is the easiest place to get a bomb from.

What is the point of all the security checks if they cannot find a bomb? Get a bomb dog and make it smell all the electronics.
