Well, just another item I have never carried aboard an aircraft in 60 years of flying.

I can understand people that carry them on board. You cannot buy ink or toner everywhere. The north pole does not have a single office supply store.....

Obviously not being having the mentality of a terrorist surely but there are no end of things that could be used? As each item gets banned and it adds delays and so on, they win again, not as spectacular as a bomb going off but disruptive none the less.

Damn ! So much for my shopping spree at Sim Lim Square to get discounted colour Epson printer cartridges since they're so much cheaper than in USA...!

Not necessary. This also means you cannot carry your printer around.
Some of my co-worker carry printer with them as they need to do printing at hotel.
