Morphine Prince 109,926 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 UPDATE: US authorities have secretly required airlines from 13 nations to forbid passengers from carrying any electronic or electrical device larger than a cellphone. The new edict was distributed in an email described as “confidential” from the US transportation safety administration (TSA) on Monday. The requirement forbids passengers from bringing laptops, iPads, Kindles and even cameras larger than mobile phones into the cabin. All such devices must be checked. Saudi Arabia’s Saudia Airlines and Royal Jordanian airlines are among the affected countries; the full list has not been revealed to the affected airlines themselves.

AM98GJ 3,086 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Surely they just mean turning them off? How can they expect hundreds of thousands of people not to bring mobiles or laptops? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
