There is no need to completely remove wifi, just tweak it to close one of many theoretical holes.
You guys are missing the point. Wi-Fi doesn't really mean the Internet. Any laptop or cell phone (smartphone) that is Wi-Fi capable, can communicate with any laptop or cellphone if configured correctly. NO NEED FOR THE INTERNET.....

One cellphone (smartphone) or laptop in your checked bag, and a cellphone or laptop in the your lap in the cabin is all you need. If any explosives are hidden in your bags, you can still detonate them, NO INTERNET NEEDED.

Therefore, is the TSA going to ban all phones and laptops, IPAD, etc..........

Probably not.
