Odd as the FAA are at the same time considering banning electronics (or rather their Li batteries) from the hold.

Only affects flights from MLE to the UK, outbound to MLE is not affected.

No idea why terrorists with a bomb invisible to x-ray machine won't just fly to any number of other airports in the region and catch a BA flight there.
