Reports coming out today that U.K passengers might soon not be bring anything larger than a mobile phone onboard U.S bound flights. The U.S government is considering extending the electronics travel ban the to U.K and Europe. Under the ban, all items larger than a mobile phone would have to be checked in. The travel ban brought in for the Middle East earlier this year received a lot of backlashes and if it was extended to the U.K and Europe you would have a lot of unhappy Trans-Atlantic customers
Okay, this got to be a joke. What are the government thinking?! One thing is the 7 countries, I can live with that (But not really), But I’m pretty sure this will make Americas tourism go down - I can’t survive 8 hours on a plane without my computer, not because I’m addicted to it, but because I can actually do something on it.
I really hope this is a joke, Please let it be a joke…
Oh please, not again! I’m sure these would make travelling into U.S even harder as I’m sure there will be more countries to be included on this list. I know it’s for safety purpose but why should they have take this measure? I meant someone can even threaten to blow up an aircraft with an iPhone (Egyptair Hijacking).
I think there must of been a big security threat found by the agencies. The nz government are even proposing to add these rules on flights to Qatar and Dubai
I have the feeling one day I’ll be controlling and I’ll just hear an aircraft calling in with the call sign *Victor November Hotel Oscar Charlie Kilo Echo Yankee"
