My friend and Heritage colleague, David Inserra, has just released a paper entitled "Considering the Laptop Ban: Risks, Costs, Benefits, and Alternatives." For anyone interested in the issue, it is worth a read. Here is the abstract:

Regarding a potential “laptop ban” in aircraft cabins, DHS should set policy based on adequate risk assessments that consider the costs, benefits, and alternatives of this proposal.
