I guess they think the know-how to build laptop bombs can be stopped at the border since no mention of domestic flights.
I'm still gobsmacked that US officials haven't been pushed hard on this major inconsistency.
And my guess is the only believable reason is the economic disruption it would wreak on the US. And US based carriers. The next question is whether the US gives a damn about their allies' economies at all.
