V50, Pilot Pete is quite correct. Reread my post. I was explaining why there is very little reason for banning laptops, and several reasons for not doing so.
You then post several insults and repeat all the reasons I quoted.
You also display a very patronising attitude to the staff who serve you and keep you safe - not only the pilots but also the airport security staff.
What worries me is that whatever security measures are introduced, there will always be some smart-aleck passenger who thinks he knows better, or that the rules don't apply to him and that therefore he is entitled to endanger everyone around him... <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
