The bans on "all cyber security equipment" just show how little they understand. A regular laptop with cheap dongles is just as capable as a Flipper, if not more. And you don't even need dongles if you're just messing with WiFi/Bluetooth. The NFC part can partially be done via phone apps.

The lists are rather intriguing. I am assuming total router/switch bans are to prevent people from sharing a single paid connection since they charge per day per device
