Brace for Chaos If U.S. Expands Airline Laptop Ban

Hey I have this sick idea: How about we instead let passengers carry laptops on planes?

Wouldn't that be a hell of a lot simpler?

Wait, no, you're right, it's inherently dangerous. In fact, it's so dangerous, that in the past decade during which we've let people do just that, hundreds millions of people have died (Maybe some of that was old age, but we can't be sure it's not laptop-on-plane related).

Clearly something has to change.

I don't get to control what the TSA does. I do get to control how I handle the problems they create.
