US Secretary of Homeland Security Gen. John Kelly revealed in an interview over the weekend that the US might expand its current laptop ban to all flights into the US in the near future. The laptop ban came into effect on March 21, this year, when travelers from ten airports in eight countries were banned from taking laptops, tablets and other larger electrics devices in carry-on bags. In the same interview, Gen. Kelly also revealed plans for increased security screenings of passengers with densely packed carry-ons.
