Much ado about nothing. Restriction is only on carriage of electronic goods in checked in baggage. You can carry these items as carry on baggage. This has been implemented by the airlines world over.

By no means the suggestion appears to be practicable. more

Now if the govt/airlines want to make it strict let them announce publically about this more
