In total, there are about 500 thousand devices in the risk zone. US regulators have responded accordingly. A fire on board an aircraft is the last thing to do.
The new rules are already being implemented by Thomas Cook Airlines, TUI Group, Air Transat and Air Italy. Other carriers will join them soon.
One exception: MacBook Pro with a replacement power supply. A computer refitted by Apple will skip without a problem. The rest will have to leave the car on the ground.
