Recently (1 or 2 nights ago on the news) there was a mention that in (most of) 
Europe, due to the current crisis, NO electrical appliances with be allowed 
onto a plane.  

This includes cpus, hairdryers, electric razors, etc., etc.  Essentially 
they will be placed into an de-pressurized chamber to make sure that they 
will not trigger any explosive device (that would be sensitive to air 
pressure changes).  

After this "quarantine" is passed, the items will be sent on to you (X 
days later).
