US devices band ‘likely to be extended to UK flights’
Reports suggest that those security requirements are about to get much tougher for European airline passengers wanting to fly to the US. In March, the Department of Homeland Security rushed out a ban on electronic devices in hand luggage on flights from eight countries in North Africa and the Middle East. Now, passengers at dozens of other “Last Point of Departure” airports could find themselves subject to the same ban. CBS is reporting that a decision in the next few weeks is likely to extend the ban to include flights from Europe. If the reports are true, the number of flights affected worldwide would increase from a few dozen each day to many hundreds. <br/>
