If they ban all hand luggage I won't fly. End of. I won't be checking in valuable items to the hold. I was caught up in the failed BA transatlantic bombing plots back in 2007(?) and I had to hold check all my luggage. My laptop and phone and camera all went missing.
If you have properly secured luggage and it's properly labelled inside and out, there really is very little risk of personal property going missing permanently under normal circumstances, and significantly reduced risk of anything disappearing under exceptional circumstances.
