Why specifically Europe and the Middle East?
Why not the Americas or Asia?
Is something wrong with them?

Yeah, I wonder.

>>60319724
A smartphone? What a stupid fucking question.

>>60319909
I'm still confused though!
What's inside Europe and the Middle East that they're so afraid of?

can't live without electronics for a few hours? Try having a conversation with someone

This thread is for discussing this issue as it relates to technology, not international politics. If you want to discuss how this issue relates to international politics then make a thread on /pol/.

>What does /g/ use to entertain themselves?
This is better than any electronic game

you will just have to wait and find out. virtually all laptops are too big to use during flight anyways, my x220 is barely usable and thats uncomfortable as fuck without being a total fucking asshole to the person next to you

That better not contain more than 3.4 ounces of liquid.

What about the problem of having to check your laptop where they could tamper with it?

>>60320273
tamper as in how? if you think they are going to open everyones bags just to install malware on your machine you need to fuck off

>can't read books or comics
>can't watch movies or play games
>can't type anything up
>normies get to fuck around on their phones all they want

The answer is obvious;

Google Glass.

No, but there's nothing stopping them from tampering with some machines which may happen to include yours or just plain stealing them.

>can't watch movies or play games
I'm pretty sure some older handhelds would be acceptable, particularly the PSP GO as I have an older smartphone that's about the same size.

>>60320357
I wonder how hard it would be to fit a Raspberry Pi Zero or similar sized SBC into one of those pocket sized folding keyboards and using it with one of the available HMDs for watching movies.

What?

>>60320273
Unless your laptop doesn't have lithium-ion batteries, you won't be checking it. I keep getting asked about them when checking luggage anyway.

>>60320086
Can you actually bring those in planes and fill it with water from the washroom?

>>60319865
>>60319982
mudslimes. they are all potential terrorists.

AR headset that projects a keyboard onto the tray.

>being an Americuck

Well memed

>>60320938
I guess that depends on whether or not explosives are available in a dehydrated form, that just needs water to activate it

>>60321534
>living in north america, europe or asia
who does that amirite

>>60319724

Please don't let my country follow along with this. I don't want to check my fucking laptop every time I fly home.

Fuck that country. I refuse to go through their stupid security theatre designed to keep heir population in fear. It's so much nicer to travel to Asia.

what is that and why i do have an erection

Looks like this http://kakaku.com/item/K0000866096/ .

I've got one of those cheap little VR headsets that you stick your phone in to use as the screens. I'll just use that with a video player app. The resolution isn't great, but the sense of space helps with the cramped conditions onboard. Let's be realistic, this isn't about a security threat. There is no government backing with this. This is just airlines wanting to get more people to pay for in flight movies on the longest flights they offer, and it will soon be rolled out to the domestic flights as well.

umpc shits strike again

you don't do work on a flight you wouldn't be on because you aren't important so this works out.

>alternative electronics
"I'm better than you"

I like how none of this was an issue until everyone opened their borders to terrorists.

This is why we'll never have nice things.

The Irish have been able to cross borders for a long time

Fingerboxes are pretty cool OP. You should try them. They're also allowed in planes.
