There's unnamed sources inside DHS that told the Daily Beast that the official decision is going to be made Thursday.

The official statement is short enough that they wouldn't technically be lying if they then came out Thursday with a laptop ban.

I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

One of the clearest litmus tests for HN-offtopicness is "is this an announcement of an announcement". The present case is like that, only weaker.

We can turn that around and put it positively: patience till a thing actually happens is good for story quality.
