Pretty much majority islamic countries.

I'm not surprised. A dozen laptops with purposefully shorted out lithium batteries would be almost impossible to contain.

And this has little to do with security and more so making it harder to travel to and from those countries as their travel ban keeps getting pushback.

Yup.

You guys do realize that this isn't related to the travel ban... right?

Both the UK and Canada are considering doing the exact same thing. Shit is going on right now, we're just not being told. The lefties and their associated media outlets are having a field day with this without reporting any facts on the issue though.

There has clearly been some sort of actionable evidence brought forward about some sort of plot IMO.

That's why the UK is following suit right? They are pissed that Trump's travel ban is getting pushback?

From what I've read from CNN this isn't in response to any specific threat other than a lack of confidence in the screening and security protocols of the airports from those countries.

UK also enacted a similar ban, but their list of countries is shorter (about half I think)
