  • Passengers should keep their devices adequately charged otherwise would not be allowed on plane.

    LAHORE (Dunya News) - American security forces have imposed further sanctions on Pakistanis travelling to the US. Passengers would be expected to get their laptops, electronic notebooks, electronic tablets and mobile phone data checked and monitored. All Pakistani passengers going to America would be advised to keep all their electronic devices fully charged, the ones not charged shall be confiscated. All air companies have been informed of these conditions by the American Transport Security Administration (TSA).

    Any passenger moving in and out of US would have to keep all the electronic devices powered up enough to be switched on and checked. As per the guidelines, if any gadget could not be switched on, the respective person would not be allowed to carry the device onto to the aircraft.

    All these measures are being carried out in the wake of threats of terror plots. The US Homeland Security is said to have intelligence that Al-Qaeda’s chief bomb maker is cooking something up with militants from Syria. Reports suggest that the two terror networks are working on a bomb that could be placed in the mobile phones and are eligible to escape the existing security.

    Officials are making sure that the passengers do not face any delays and there devices get screened simultaneously and by the time they pass through the regular screening process their devices would be monitored.

    Not only US but UK has also introduced similar restrictions giving same reasons. The chairman of the UK parliament's intelligence and security committee, Sir Malcolm Rifkind, said the increased airport security measures were "unavoidable".

    Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, he said extremists were deploying "devilish technical skill" to create ever more sophisticated devices to evade existing security measures. And he warned of the dangers of "complacency" among the public in the face of the failure of the terrorists to mount any successful mass casualty attack in the UK since the 7/7 bombings in London in 2005.

Now they want to look into pvt data even a photo of gun or mullah could make someone end up being interrogated lol morons.

Last I heard, the restriction was that the device should be able go turn on and be working.

Nowhere has it been written that they'll check your files etc.

Looks like a poorly written article.

That all region is a security risk, Norway just went on high alert, you cant blame US for protecting itself from your scum.

Oh wait was it hindustani making hoopla and noises in Airliner when they had to calm him down and later security escorted him. Or should I tell you how you are treated in U.A.E and most of you are security checked every week in the best interested of U.A.E local population.

Who wrote this bull? no data will be checked, only whether it will power up or not. To check whether it is rigged with explosive... and as already pointed out, it is a general directive, not country specific..
