Funny How One Incident can Turn World Travel Upside Down

So my brother flies out of the country tomorrow. I'd like to say that I have confidence that our intelligence is so good that there is no need to worry when he travels internationally. I'd like to believe that our intelligence is so competent that we don't have to worry on any flights we take. But I just can't quite get there. I'm wondering why if the British are banning electronic devices from the cabin, we aren't banning them in this country. Are we only banning them if we have intelligence of a plot?......Are we not thinking that maybe if this is a possible danger it would be a good idea to pack them away all the time? The logic, or lack thereof amazes me. Either something is inherently dangerous or it isn't. Gels, liquids, electronic devices. The verdict is.....?
and juice for babies is ok? We can't get this from the airline?

If you think of it from an efficiency standpoint, no carry-on luggage. Think of the ease of boarding and deplaning!

Extreme? Perhaps. But I am extremely angry that someone feels they are entitled to board a plane and blow it up killing all on board because they hate us and our way of life. So whatever it takes to prevent that from becoming possible, I applaud.
