US removes all PED restrictions on all US-bound flights
All personal electronic device (PED) restrictions for flights to the US have been lifted by the US Department of Homeland Security, which said airlines and airports around the world are complying with new security requirements for all US-bound flights. US homeland security secretary John Kelly outlined new security standards June 28 for all US-bound flights, affecting 180 airlines and 280 airports globally. At the time, passengers flying to the US from 10 Middle East and North Africa airports were prohibited from carrying large PEDs on board aircraft and instead were required to place the devices in checked baggage. DHS said those 10 airports have all implemented “enhanced security measures” and all have now been removed from the so-called laptop ban list. <br/>
