Hellfire.

Bit by bit, every single possible convenience of air travel is being eliminated.

...How long do you think it will take for laptops to be banned completely from airplanes?

I'm at the point in my life where I fly around three round trips a year. This year so far, I've flown to Baltimore and San Diego for conventions, and I'll be flying home to Ann Arbor in December.

If I have to endure five to six hours of air travel without books, laptop, iPod, or even water, I may not be able to fly anymore. I cannot and will not spend that much time doing nothing at all - that is tantamount to torture for me.
