For me personally, I just wish they would do one thing or another. Those of us with immediate travel to Europe are in limbo and don't know what we need to do for safe transport of electronics and in my case a whole bunch of camera gear.
I think I'm going to take a chance and bring my laptop and digital SLR with lens and flash. In the worst case, I think I will ship the items back via UPS/FedEx, probably less worse than letting the airline/airport treat my stuff like a football and risk getting them stolen.
