Hello,
For laptop ban, as far as I know Turkish Airlines started a service to take
care of laptops before boarding.

I know it is not the best solution but it might be better to check laptops
in bags.

Here's an alternative thought about this laptop ban:
http://m.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=11823052
Basically it says this is retaliation against Gulf airlines, because
apparently, US airlines are exempt from the laptop ban. If that's
the case — I did not verify — then an

Hi all,
Call me naive, but I was hoping that somebody would have answers and
would also raise questions.
For instance, one point being, what if the airlines enters US
airspace, doesn't land in US but goes through there to Canada.
Wouldn't those airlines be also affected by this ban ?
I did have

Hi,
This thread started out okay, and some practical advice followed. But
it's already gone the way of a recent thread on debian-private. For
that I came up with this procmail rule:

Respectfully...
Could we please keep politics out of any Debian list?

Dear all,
How are we to know if we are affected by the ban or not ? Most
airlines, at least the low-cost ones I know don't have an e-mail id or
even if they have, they don't reply. I have experienced it . I have
tried the live chat option at some of the sites too and at times have
found that what t

Do not fly via the US. I understand this might mean the cheapest
flight is not available to you, but some of the measures you propose
would mean a
Looking at the laptop ban[1], it appears to target airlines rather than

Some of the airports on the list (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) are transit points
