so this here Merkin Flying Laptop Ban - it only applies to specific airports and airlines?

"The US ban is vaguer in one sense, in that applies to “anything larger than a smartphone”, but more specific in another, in that applies only to nine Middle Eastern, north African and Turkish airlines, flying from 10 specific airports."

it gives a great business advantage for the Merkin airlines that aren't part of the ban...

        well duh, obviously they haven't told us *everything* - that doesn't mean it is sensible (General Chat) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 22, 12:43:13
