In light of the recent event of a Nigerian national attempting to bring down a plane entering the US territory, the TSA has been reported to be considering banning ALL electronic device on board all flights. Yes, your portable handheld devices would be included under the list of LETHAL items, if this order be true.

 

Well, the TSA has not exacly issued an official ruling on this, but they did say that:

 

“Passengers flying from international locations to U.S. destinations may notice additional security measures in place. These measures are designed to be unpredictable, so passengers should not expect to see the same thing everywhere. Due to the busy holiday travel season, both domestic and international travelers should allot extra time for check-in.”

 

Other security measures to be put in place is the prohibition of standing in the final hour of a flight — yes, not even for bathroom breaks, a one carry-on bag limit, and the prohibition of having anything on your lap in this final hour. Guess you can put that baby in the luggage compartment above then for this period.

 

If that be the case then, you guys better start appreciating them in-flight magazines. They’re the closest thing to in-flight entertainment you’ll ever have.
