I do see! Quite fearsome indeed. 

Meanwhile the Guardian found someone who reckons he knows and that what he knows is that this doesn't even work anyway. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/08/tsa-agent-new-airport-security-cell-phone-rules

Just in case you had the unfortunate misconception that it might not be a complete waste of time with no useful purpose.

No such misconceptions here! I fully expect it to be of FA value in defeating terrorism and supreme value in inconveniencing everyone and increasing delays. Hence the terrorists make more gains!

From that article though...
 

quote:So, how should a rational security system deal with "recent and relevant information" about the "devilish technical skill of those terrorists who design ever more sophisticated means of concealing explosives"? Simple: announce to the public (and would-be iBombers) that all carry-on electronics will be subject to enhanced scrutiny, contingent upon case-by-case analysis, as well as the occasional random search.


Looking like a Muslim?

It's not just looking like a Muslim. If they have a funny name, or a beard, they need checking out too. Everyone else should be alright I think.

Well, I don't look like a Muslim, and I don't have a beard. Should I change my name back from Nigel Lickmynipples though?

Night lickmynipples didn't really register on either, so he should be fine.

Are you suggesting that Lickmynipples is a commonplace name north of the border? Elsewhere it might be considered funny (peculiar).
