Airlines Making Stricter Carry-on Restrictions

The U.S.�government is apparently set to announce new restrictions on electronic devices for certain flights.

FOX’s Lisa Brady reports:

At least two foreign carriers, Royal Jordanian Airlines and Saudia Airlines, announcing in tweets that passengers heading to the�U.S. can’t put laptops, iPads, cameras or other larger electronics into carry-on luggage. Only cellphones and medical devices are excluded. Everything else has to go in checked baggage.

A source telling FOX News the new rules will also focus heightened security on liquids and apply to anyone traveling from 13�international airports to the U.S., reportedly from eight countries in the Middle East and North Africa.

It’s believed to be a response to an increased volume of threats from Al-Qaeda and other groups, but not any specific threat.
