How will checking these items increase security? Will a laptop bomb in the cargo hold not be as dangerous to the plane? Are checked bags screened differently than carry on luggage? Is this really just to avoid longer security lines? Can an ISIS member not just get an "undetectable" bomb on a connecting flight that will not be subject to the new restrictions?
This sounds to me to be yet another unnecessary hassle for passengers with no real security gain. Like making EVERYONE take off their shoes for YEARS because one schmuck tried to make a shoe bomb. Or the carryon liquid restrictions that have since been relaxed several times.
