I agree it sounds like they are acting on intel.....kudos to them.
But banning a few airports won't fix it...terrorist have to only switch and use different airports.
If they have this technology they will still use it.....but now it paints a bullseye on Aa and United cause they are only airlines allowed to carry computers?
Is it the security in airports? I am from US, and have worked closely with TSA, but can't really say I feel they are superior in any way to security in Doha for example. Passengers are double checked and no liquids allowed.
Just saying if there is really a threat then it needs to expand world wide or it is pointless.......it will be nothing more than a early Christmas shopping spree for baggage handlers.
