A bomb in the device WILL go off. A LiOn battery MAY go off. It's all about risk assessments I suppose. And we all know people ignore advice and stick laptops and the like in suitcases. Passengers have paid very little attention to anything safety related.
It makes me wonder who was the target flight(s).
Even if there is something more to it, would they not just work around this?
Surely someone that is able to board a US bound flight from DOH or DXB, who has a US visa, can obtain a Schengen visa and do the same from Madrid or Frankfurt, or connect via any number of other airports? How could a plot like this be solely limited to particular origin airports?
