US Will Not Ban Laptops From EU Flights

The U.S.has decided not to introduce a ban on bringing laptops into the cabins of flights to the U.S. from Europe, sources tell Politico,

The decision was made Tuesday during a conference call between U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and European Home Affairs Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos and Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc.

Of course, the libertarian perspective is that we don't need a "laptop on planes" central planner and the decision should be left up to each individual airline.

US plans to extend a ban on carrying laptops on to transatlantic aircraft have been  mired in confusion last night with Washington denying reports from Brussels that the plans had been scrapped.
