Tourist; I see the point you're trying to make (about speeding) but I do think there IS a difference between drifting over the limit on an open road (which is what I'm talking about) and second guessing the crew who certainly know more about the situation than you, and may DIE because they are on the aircraft just that bit longer trying to get muppets like you off. Think about it, no matter how often you fly, you are unlikely to experience a situation like this. Lets be clear, if the crew order an emergency evacuation, it will only because it has been assessed as potentially life threatening to stay onboard a moment longer than necessary. We will call for an emergency evacuation knowing that people will get hurt but that it is the lesser of two evils. In that context, tell me again how inconvenient it will be to loose your laptop?
