OK, I keep reading and hearing that there is a movement to ban carryon electronics since it only takes a small amout on power to power the "bomb" So how would taking away my laptop help?

Without even being creative I can think of several things that could power the "bomb"

1. The power to the inseat phone
2. The power to the inseat video unit
3. The power to the power ports on some planes
4. The "shaver" plug in the bathrooms (for that matter the LIGHTS?)

Am I missing something?

Personally, I am willing to accept a certain amount of risk. I have never thought the TSA was the worlds greatest secuirty force so I figure I have always accepted the risk.
(I actually just emailed the TSA to this effect.. That may get me on the "high risk list LOL!)
