U.S. Considers Banning Laptops on All Flights from Europe

The Department of Homeland Security plans to ban laptops in the cabins of all flights from Europe to the United States, European security officials told The Daily Beast. Initially a ban on laptops and tablets was applied only to U.S.-bound flights from 10 airports in North Africa and the Middle East, based on U.S. fears that terrorists have found a way to convert laptops into bombs capable of bringing down an airplane.
