President Trump could ban laptops on flights from UK to US

Updated

The laptop ban imposed by President Donald Trump on flights from middle east countries to the U.S. might be expanding. And it could include bans from the U.K. very soon.

The ban which establishes that any electronic device larger than a smartphone, like an iPad and other tablets, cannot be carried in the cabin during a flight was imposed as an anti-terrorist precaution.

According to The Times, Trump's administration could extend the security restrictions to several European airports and those in Britain could be on the list.

A specific date has not yet been announced but it could be implemented within weeks.
