Homeland Security chief considers banning laptops on all flights to and from U.S.

[Voltaire2]

8. I think this proposed ban is stupid nonsense but...

the luggage can be scanned for anything powered on at all and then those things that are powered on could be removed or subject to further inspection. I think the idea is that there is some sort of new explosive that can get through our current detectors and that could fit inside a laptop. To activate the device the laptop would have to be on.

However, quite frankly I would rather take the minuscule risk of being blown up midair rather than having to sit and stare at the back of the seat in front of me for six hours.

Plus I'm tired of perpetual war. Lets just declare peace.

ISIS can have some shitty regions of Syria and Iraq for their horrible caliphate. The Taliban can have Kabul and the southern regions of Afghanistan for their shitty caliphate. Trump can move to Moscow and get married to Putin. Kim Jung Un can have his little nukes and his shitty missiles. I'm sorry about everyone who is going to get fucked over by these tyrants but this idiotic war is going nowhere and never was, it was instead intended to last forever and usher in a rightwing authoritarian dystopia, which is in fact mission accomplished. But I digress....
