What I would question Harry is are they looking at the tradeoffs of forcing all electronics to the cargo hold. Sure there has been a laptop bomb smuggled, but how many Li-ion battery fires have there been in airliner cabins in the last 18 months? And how much worse would that be if they had happened in the cargo hold rather than in the cabin where they could be dealt with right away? Maybe they are looking at that, but unfortunately the "politics" of it will be that they'll be more afraid of a bomb (perceived as their fault) than a fire from a phone (not their fault).
