Whether connected or not we flew DXB>CDG>ATL>SAT Monday and I’ll have to say in DXB and CDG they were quite insistent that all electronics be taken out of carryons. I don’t think of cameras as electronics, though modern digital cameras are probably more computer with lens than old film cameras, and didn’t take them out in DXB. That got me a swabbing and minor but polite lecture. In CDG they didn’t care about the cameras but asked several times about other “electronics” and specifically laptops.
