Following Apple’s June recall for selected 15-inch MacBook Pro computers, the U.S. FAA has now effectively banned those laptops from traveling on commercial flights
Following Apple’s June recall for selected 15-inch MacBook Pro computers, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has now effectively banned those laptops from traveling on commercial flights. The restriction covers both carry-on and hold luggage. So if you haven’t returned one of the affected computers to Apple for the free battery replacement, don’t bother traveling with one to a U.S. airport.
All very sensible, as well as highly impractical. The idea that TSA officers are going to become adept at quickly telling MacBook Pros apart during an already hasty security screening process will take some convincing. And what about all those TSA Pre passengers who leave laptops inside bags and expect an expedited security process? Maybe they’ll check the serial numbers of every MacBook traveling from a U.S. airport. Or maybe not.
