The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is apparently debating on whether or not to ban laptop use in flights from Europe to the US. This comes as an extension of the ruling to ban tablets and laptops in carry ons in flights coming from African or Middle Eastern destinations.
The fear here is that laptops or tablets can be used to hide bombs and detonated in-flight. The earlier ban on these devices still allows them to be checked-in and held in the baggage compartment. Should the ban come to fruition, this would inconvenience passengers who rely on their electronics to get work done or to entertain themselves during the long interncontinental flights. Some airlines have even required passengers bring their own devices to access in-flight entertainment like music, movies and TV.
