UK bans iPods, laptops in-flight

Ban liquids and foods?! Ban laptops? Yah that should be an entertaining flight from New York to the UK. They better start offering a circus inside because I'd go nuts from that 13 hour flight without my laptop!

when the airlines already manage to lose or steal on average at least one of my bags every year that I check. I don't think I will be checking my electronics. Let's see... Come to the airport 3 hours early and waiting with no music, phone or laptop because I had to check them all or driving when gas prices are nearing $4 a gallon in the US. I think i will just stay home and telecommute when possible. I don't think the terrorists won this go around.. I think the victory goes solely to the US and UK governments.. er um, I mean bureaucracies. Hands down they do more to screw up our lives in the name of our own best interests than any terrorist group ever dreamt of.

I guess the companies selling wifi access at airports will have to rethink their business if this becomes a long term practice.

,,I have to fly tomorrow! Never take any liquids anyway, just hope the TSA doesn't change it's mind about electronics over night.Don't think they will, the outcry from all those business travelers with phones, pda's, and laptops would be tremendous.
