Potential terrorist attacks
As a consequence of potential terrorist attacks in London Heathrow airport, laptops, PDAs, mobile phone, multimedia players are forbidden on flight. Electronic devices are to be put in the luggages. This will increase checking time (almost twice on intra-Europe flights), and the risk of theft or failure. The other consequence is the additional delay to get in-flight broadband services (VOIP, Internet, cellular calls,..), at least until the end of a terrorist threat (can take some time...).
