UK Bans Laptops And Tablets On Flights From Six Muslim Countries by Everblink: 11:04am On Mar 22, 2017
UK bans laptops and Tablets on Flights from Six Muslim Countries. The British government has announced a cabin baggage ban on laptops on direct passenger flights to the UK from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. The ban, which also applies to tablets and DVD players, follows a similar US move affecting eight countries. Downing Street said it followed talks on air security and was “necessary, effective and proportionate”. US officials said bombs could be hidden in a series of devices.
The ban applies to any device larger than 16cm long, 9.3cm wide or 1.5cm deep. It includes smart phones, but most fall inside these limits.

Chris Grayling,the U.K transport secretary, said the UK took the decision to protect British nationals and that they carefully understood the United State’s approach.
“We understand the frustration that these measures may cause and we are working with the aviation industry to minimise any impact,” he said in a written statement to parliament announcing the change.
“Our top priority will always be to maintain the safety of British nationals.”
Grayling said the government was still open for business with the countries affected: “We remain open for business. People should continue to fly and comply with security procedures.”
Passengers flying from the shortlisted countries will not be allowed to take any phones, laptops or tablets larger than a normal smartphone – specified as 16cm x 9.3cm x 1.5cm (6.2in x 3.6in x 0.5in) meaning such devices will need to be placed in hold luggage. The ban takes effect immediately and has no end date.
