It appears that there are now phones with more than one batteries. Do you think these will also be banned?

Also, does anyone know whether any statistical analysis has been done showing the odds of an incident coming about because a laptop is allowed in the cabin of an airplane versus the odds of a fire in the hold bringing down an airplane? From this thread my understand is that the latter presents greater risk but I have not seen any actual numbers regarding this.
Do you think that the actual risk numbers would be persuasive at all? If not, it seems that there is no rational justification behind anything.
