Are you kidding? Laptops allowed unless they have CD/DVD/CDRW?!?!?!

What kind of a silly restriction is that? Are they afraid that the small increase in power drain from the seat outlet will cause the aircraft to crash? It's certain that the CD/DVD drive does not produce any kind of emission, so what could that rationale possibly be due to?
