Airlines flying directly from eight countries in the
Middle East and Africa to the U.S. must prevent passengers from carrying almost
all types of electronic devices in the cabin, according to new security
restrictions from the Trump administration. Passengers will have to check in
any devices bigger than a smartphone -- including iPads, Kindles and laptops --
before clearing security or boarding, U.S. officials said, citing terrorism
concerns. It means all laptops, cameras, tablets, e-readers, portable DVD
players, electronic gaming devices and travel printers or scanners will have to
be kept in the cargo hold for the duration of the flight.
