Maybe, just maybe, hewhothinksheknowsitallbutreallydoesn't, you and the rest of the travelers are on a need to know basis. Maybe the security agencies don't need to justify every security rule. If you don't like it, find another, more agreeable form of transport. For me, while I agree that more, much more, needs to be done, I am not going to argue on the margins. If there are no carryons, there are no carryons. I'll buy my drink on the plane and do my work on my laptop in places other than the plane.
I'll still think about my work, as follows:
1. Billable matter A one minute out of each six minute interval for the duration of the flight, rounding up, and billing matter A for the whole flight time;
2. Billable matter B, one minute out of each six minute interval for the duraction of the flight, rounding up, and billing matter B for the whole flight time.
3. Deviant sexual acts with Hank's wife, 4 minutes out of each six minute interval for the duration of the flight. Non-billable.
thus, neither my commerce nor my sexual fantasies will be negatively impacted here.
Carry on.
