As you say, Airlines dont want YOUR laptop \ tablet in the main cabin as it could be rigged. Im sure airlines wont have a problem providing Laptop \ tablet rental, which they can screw people for.
Explosions in the luggage hold arent good, but not bad enough to do much damage.
At worst, they'll lose a lot of luggage and probably have a hole in the plane.
Luggage hold isn't pressurized, wouldnt that also reduce damage?

I heard a discussion on this earlier, apparently cargo holds in modern passenger jets are pressurised but they've got blastproof containers which could help.
The downside is this brings all the lovely lithium-ion batteries into close proximity which increases the risk.
I guess this is like any protective measure and the inevitable response:
Terrorists devise bombing strategy, attempt it (put in luggage, strap to person, shoe bomb, print toner bomb etc) or they release intelligence that they could (mixing liquids, electronic devices etc).
Governments respond with draconian measures to prevent any chance of attack, and being blamed.
Public massively inconvenienced (body scanners, removing shoes, no liquid, not electronic devices etc)
Terrorists laugh and move onto the next fiendish plan.
Repeat ad nauseam.
