And don't forget professional photographers. I was chatting with a couple of them last evening, and they were both seriously concerned about the proposed ban because it would make it all-but-impossible for them to do their jobs.
Any airline that figures out a truly secure way to handle camera equipment affected by the ban would have my instant loyalty. Like susiesan, when I vacation I want my good camera along, not just a cellphone.
