But what is the likelyhood of a terrorist going to the trouble to make a laptop into a bomb? Far more likely I would think for them to use a more conventional type of explosive device. The Boston Marathon bombers for example used pressure cookers and some sort of explosive material. Very low tech I would imagine, and in Oklahoma City they used fertilizer and diesel fuel. Again low tech with easy to source materials.
