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.
