I'm not one given to spreading fear and certainly believe that being afraid of terrorism is conceding defeat. But given the speed at which the world's authorities have been mobilized in the war on moisture and given the high profile cases of exploding laptop batteries (even without any nefarious intervention or design) - I'm pretty amazed that there isn't already a war on laptops - but by all reports it is still safe to be on a plane surrounded by laptops and other battery powered devices. Phew. A good book related to people's innability to assess and manage risk is "Against the Gods" by Peter Bernstein (Amazon link); Freakonomics also takes an interesting look at risk assesment.
