It's hard to imagine much business travel surviving in such an environment.I just cancelled my weeklong trip to Britain, where I grew up, because of these restrictions. We British suffered 20 years of the IRA bombing us on a near-daily basis and they couldn't do as much damage as 21 20-somethings who were UNSUCCESSFUL in their attempts. I've been spoiled by electronics, communications devices and disappointed by baggage screeners too much to pack my laptop in an open suitcase.
