    President Trump Bans Electronics During Flights From Some Middle Eastern Countries...

    President Donald Trump has implemented a ban of large electronic devices from flight cabins during passenger flights from eight countries in Africa and Southwest Asia.


    The Transportation Security Administration announced the measure at 3 a.m. ET Tuesday and foreign airports must comply within 96 hours.


    A U.S. official told The Associated Press the ban will apply to 10 international airports serving the cities of Cairo in Egypt; Amman in Jordan; Kuwait City in Kuwait; Casablanca in Morocco; Doha in Qatar; Riyadh and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia; Istanbul in Turkey; and Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The ban is indefinite......snip~

    Well now.....Trump has issued an EO and Ban. This time....no libtards of the left holding AG or Judgeships can do anything about it..


    Now he should also tell Hawaii and Maryland they will be taking in all refugees. Any problem.....they're on their own.

    He didn't actually ban them did he? What I thought I heard was they had to be checked with the regular luggage.

    Yep he is banning them. Great Britain just announced they will follow suit.




    The electronics ban impacts nine airlines flying into the U.S. on a daily basis. U.S.-based airlines are not impacted because they don’t fly directly in or out of the cities, officials said.

    U.S. citizens, however, are subject to the electronics ban, which DHS said will “remain in place until the threat changes.” Airline workers are exempt from the rules, and large medical devices aren’t subject to the ban.

    DHS could also expand the ban to airports in more cities.

    The ban comes after reports that terror groups plan to smuggle explosives in everyday electronic devices, as well as target commercial airlines.....snip~

    The article says they are banned from the main cabin.

    No, its a ban on idiots and fools. So, you will need to find another method of travel.

    The OP has a inaccurate title. I haven't read anything that suggests Trump has banned these devices. The DHS has put a ban on these devices. Nor have I seen anything about an EO.

    What's weird is that these electronic devices are normally prohibited from being packed in your checked baggage and must be carried on as carry on is scrutinized more thoroughly.

    Regardless, if there is intel that suggests a threat, I have no issue with it.

    Well, a court very well could do something about it, if the "ban" (which it really isn't) violated existing law (which I can't imagine it does), in which case no "libtards of the left" (you really have no idea how ridiculous you make yourself appear when you use terms like that) would have no cause or reason to interfere.

    Aside from that, your synopsis is perfection itself.

    That seems unlikely because they don't like having batteries below with luggage. They can explode, last I heard.
