On: U.S. To Ban Laptops in All Cabins of Flights from Europe

> America has intel - and good intel from a raid - that shows that ISIS has the capability and intent to hide a bomb inside laptop batteries to blow up passenger planes containing lots of people.

Citation needed on that one.

Also... Adding a timer to a laptop battery bomb so that it goes off in the storage department is... probably very easy?

It is just as likely that ISIS are putting out a huge campaign of misinformation in the hope that given enough bad intel the good intel doesn't get acted upon.

There have been murmurs of bombs being surgically placed inside people; but I don't hear any increase in security in response to that very real threat.

People need to read the article which talked about this

or other articles where the evidence was widely released to the general public and shared with everyone.

That link does not prove anything you said.

There is nothing in there about laptops and/or flights...
