I'd like to know what "weapons and explosives" that might be useful for "airborne terrorism" the TSA thinks it might find buy searching the data on a laptop or phone.

I'm sure they would reply with some number of times that evidence of evil was found by a laptop search (in completely unrelated circumstances).
