Tablets and laptops to go in hold baggage from a variety of Middle East countries. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/21/uk-set-to-ban-laptops-on-flights-from-middle-east-countries

Not sure why it is safer for them to be in the hold

The hold isn't pressurised. If a small bomb goes off you don't depressurise the cabin?

Holds are pressurised, same as cabin. Also, if you ban carrying laptops, it makes it more difficult for one to be passed to a passenger after security, which is what was alleged to have occurred in the Somali airliner incident.
