Electronics banned on some US flights from Middle East
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39333424TL:DR
Direct flights to US only, screening in some of these places are to ineffectual, and the idea is additional screening at say Germany would catch any thing.
It's false. It's the MOST secure airports, and not the middle east. They are doing it to the most secure airport in Europe. They are using terms like "Middle East" and "insecure" as cover. It's something else.

There is no airport in the US that compares to the security of some of the airports that they are blocking computers to come from. If security was the true concern, every American flight would have this limitation now as well.

Obviously some American airline interests wanted more competitive airlines to lose customers but since they couldn't compete using capitalism turned to bribing someone.

Seeing that the movie grossed a whole $78,000 I would say either
A. The movie sucks so bad you NEED it. Or (more probable)
B. It's a stunt to get more $$$$ -
-
That's not enough money to pay for many bags.

That's the most rock-n-roll way to go out, playing onstage until your very last breath.
