U.S. electronic device (including cameras) carry-on ban on flights from 8 Muslim countries is misguided

Nikon D750This week, the U.S. Transportation Safety Administration (TSA), notified airlines that fly from eight Muslim-majority nations, that effective Friday, March 24, passengers would be banned from bringing electronic devices larger than smartphones into airplane cabins on their direct flights to the U.S. from those nations.
Soon afterward, the United Kingdom instituted a similar ban involving some different airlines and countries.

The ban includes:
  • Laptops
  • E-readers
  • Tablets
  • Printers
  • Electronic games
  • Portable DVD players
  • Cameras
  • Other electronic devices larger than a smartphone
