Just hook it up to a home wind-turbine or solar panel if you're concerned about global warming (as we all should be, yadda yadda).

Satellites' behaviour determining what we can and can't do...I, for one, welcome our....

As has been mentioned briefly, but to reiterate: all hand baggage allowed is essential documents (passports, boarding passes), sunglasses (no cases), baby milk (but only if tasted in front of staff), and for women sanitary items (but only in loose form) - all to be carried in a clear plastic bag. No books, magazines, even cuddly toys. That said, this situation isn't predicted to last more than a few weeks (though that doesn't make sense - security measures ought to remain in place, or security drops!).

I'm so glad I went on holiday at the beginning of last month with my laptop!

The only irony here is that elsewhere on engadget, it has been said that it was only a matter of time before laptops were banned due to explosive capability...

To be frank, with a show like that, they can say what they like. I'm almost converted to apple!

Brian -
"That's the whole purpose of wiretapping: intercept criminals from 'potentially' commiting a crime."
Which is called the thought police. Or, see Minority Report for a slightly less sophisticated. Talking about things is merely expressing thoughts to someone else on what are supposed to be private P2P connections.
Your argument about thought police not applying therefore falls down.

Using a service to sell drugs, etc, is illegal. *Talking* about, say, a terrorist attack, isn't the same as planning it - buying all the necessary equipment is. This is, in effect, the thought police - monitoring our conversations.

The first poster misunderstands. The argument is that you wiretap in order to find out if there's a threat to national security or not...So many innocent people are effectively going to be spied on 'just in case'. Look at recent developments in London. There's no way to ensure measures will be used only against the right people (who happen, of course, to be the wrong people). Therefore, you can't be ok with this.
