Some of this is humor, but number 12 could be seen as a bit of a dig at the electronics ban that may not go over too well with those in Washington. But it underscores the fact that some people, including yours truly and possibly this airline, have wondered about the logic of this ban. After all, are you any safer if a laptop with a bomb in it is in a cargo hold versus a cabin? Plus there’s the fact the optics of this are not that good as this electronic ban only targets airlines from Muslim majority countries. So perhaps Royal Jordanian Airlines has decided that because of all of that, they are going to use to express their displeasure in a way that has some degree of plausible deniability to it. Whatever the logic behind this, if they are trolling the US Government, it is kind of funny.
