If this is a move from the TSA to counter attacks like the man who recently tried to set himself on fire on a plane the irony is that books burn much better than electronics.

Books burn much better than electronics; but they're far less explosive than laptop batteries.

Reading the tweets suggests no books either ("no personal items in your lap" is mentioned in one). I think he must have used a laptop to try and hide what he was doing.
