Don't underestimate the impact on tourism and tourism related travel. Cameras other than phones would not be allowed. Most pro and amateur photographers would never dream of checking their cameras and lenses...well if this goes thru you will have no choice...never travel with laptop but an small ipad for sure goes on trips these days with travel info...no more of those either. I will be going in June and have a feeling that this will impact our trip. Frankly this is crazy...for our government cheaper than doing the enhanced checks at foreign airports and also I think it perpetrates the isolation theme of this administration. Very disappointed in all of it. The airlines will do all possible as this impacts their business clients in the worst way but at the end of the day another presidential order being signed and end of subject...that is how it is going these days...end of rant.
