US official mulling greatly expanded airplane laptop ban


That would dramatically expand a ban announced in March that affects about 50 flights per day from 10 cities, mostly in the Middle East. The ban prevents travelers from bringing laptops, tablets and certain other devices on board with them in their carry-on bags. Kelly was asked on "Fox News Sunday" whether he would expand the ban to cover laptops on all international flights into and out of the U.S.His answer: "I might." U.S. officials have said that initial ban was not based on any specific threat but on longstanding concerns about extremists targeting jetliners. But it is a real sophisticated threat, and I'll reserve making that decision until we see where it's going."
