I think there are two issues in this thread -- this must refer to the 
air travel bans.  I don't know, but I'll bet it not only persists, it 
will get worse.

The other issue has to do with the trend to thoughtlessly carry valuable 
data (which in many cases belongs to somebody who didn't get a say-so in 
its care) in laptops which are not protected.

Somehow somebody is going to do something draconian to get that under 
control.

Some other form of executive dick-waving is going to have to be 
developed that does not put so much at risk.
