this system stays in place, and not fly, period, if it spreads to other
airports. It's hard to imagine much business travel surviving in such an
environment.

I just cancelled my weeklong trip to Britain, where I grew up,  
because of these restrictions. We British suffered 20 years of the  
IRA bombing us on a near-daily basis and they couldn't do as much  
damage as 21 20-somethings who were UNSUCCESSFUL in their attempts.  
I've been spoiled by electronics, communications devices and  
disappointed by baggage screeners too much to pack my laptop in an  
open suitcase.
