Electronics will always be a sensitive issue since the bulk of travelers bring their cameras/laptops/dvd players etc... Even thou these items are not needed during the flight they cost pretty penny and I carried around as valuables. Besides photographers going on the huge photo shoots and checking in bulk of quipment everyone I know prefers to carry-on their electronics since airline won't pay for it if damaged or stolen from the check-in luggage. If ever Homeland Security forbids electronics on board this is going to cause a serious blow to the airline industry since the way that stuff is handled behind the scenes (I know I work at jfk) and way stuff goes missing it is going to cost them a lot. And with shark lawyers at every corner, people will get their money one way or another.
