I don't know if this is a good or bad call, and I don't know if it's being driven by the out of touch perspective of the current administration, or if there is some rational logic behind the decision that the public isn't a party to.

What I do know is that all of the opinions I read about the possibility of an in flight electronics ban ignore the first two questions and jump straight to the impact of lost productivity and inconvenience.

If the point were ever to be proven right, there would be instant outrage that action wasn't taken in light of the threat.
