    In late March U.S. intelligence sources announced that terrorist organizations have found a novel and deadly way to smuggle explosives onto airplanes utilizing everyday laptops. Though officials declined to provide additional details, some believe that the intelligence highlighting the new threat was the result of President Trump’s raid on an Al Queda compound in Yemen that left at least 14 Al Queda fighters. Navy SEAL Ryan Owens was also killed in the raid. The President called it a “winning mission,” and officials said the mission’s stated purpose, to gather information, had been accomplished.

    If the information they deemed from the raid as revealed by U.S. intelligence sources to CNN is accurate, then travelling on airlines is about to get a lot more difficult for most modern-day passengers, who often carry electronic devices like phones, tablets and laptops when on the go.

    Such devices have already been banned on all flights originating from Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Tunisia and now British Intelligence sources have said they are bracing for more widespread implementation that could ban the devices on every flight leaving Europe for the United States, including those originating from major airline hubs in London.

    All these airport restrictions are getting rather vexing. Wish someone would rush with their teleportation prototype.

    But, wait, aren't Democrats telling us that two weeks ago Trump divulged this previously unknown ultra top secret to the Russians? That until two weeks ago, the Russians had know way of knowing that secret about laptop dangers on aircraft?

    Clearly, those "US Intelligent sources" should be prosecuted for divulging national security secrets, correct?

    Oh, and the UK intelligence sources also committed the treason of releasing that info publicly 2 months ago too.

    Apparently, quoting two month old CNN and New York Times stories to Russians constitutes treason - according to many Democrats anyway.

    Come to think of it, apparently quoting what was on this forum two months ago also would constitute treason - but ONLY if you are talking to a Russian. This is how wacko panic-attack hyperventilating hysteria some Democrats have devolved to.

    This ban, like most of Trump's brilliant ideas, is a waste of time and appears poorly thought out. The electronic devices mentioned have been banned from the cabin, but not the baggage hold. So how on earth this is going to prevent a bomb being triggered remotely, as IED in Iraq are, is beyond me.
