Which just points out how absolutely, mind-numbingly stupid the UK's decision is. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

The horse is out of the barn. It'd done, over, finished. The next time this stunt it pulled, it won't be a toner cartridge, maybe it's a laptop or cell phone - will the UK ban those too? What happens when they weave explosive material into fabric and make clothing out of it? Do we get to fly naked then?

Useless idiots.
