Shouldn't be impossible to have the laptop running and providing
a Wifi network to which I then connect from the passenger level.
Then I can basically do anything I want anyway. In short: if this
were a threat, laptops would need to be banned from all baggage. But
I don't see this threat.
… at least not while we're flying in airplanes where toys with
bluetooth are taken off children (just happened…). Since the
aircraft can be disturbed with Bluetooth, I think we have a slew of
other issues anyway, so it's hard to see the tree in all that
forest.
