Excellent point, absolutely valid. (Which is the reason I talked about "devices no larger than x" in my seat-of-the-pants suggestion.) I would be very disappointed in any analysis that did not consider these types of risks.
It is very easy to believe that a laptop is simply too massive and hard to hold onto to be safe. However, certain things are deemed "okay" to hold in the hands, such as books and magazines. Kindles? I'm honestly not sure. We tend to hold on to them, not just keep them in our laps, and they're definitely smaller/lighter--maybe no more dangerous than a hardback book. The experts are the ones who can properly analyze the risks.
