7 July 2014

In a news release issued yesterday, the Transportation Security Administration said it has enhanced electronic device screening at "certain overseas airports with direct flights to the United States."

That enhancement is to ask passengers to power up their electronic device, including smartphones, tablets and cameras. "Powerless devices will not be permitted onboard the aircraft," the notice said. "The traveler may also undergo additional screening."

Enhanced Security Measures At Certain Airports Overseas

Last week, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson directed the Transportation Security Administration to implement enhanced security measures at certain overseas airports with direct flights to the United States.

As the traveling public knows, all electronic devices are screened by security officers. During the security examination, officers may also ask that owners power up some devices, including cell phones. Powerless devices will not be permitted onboard the aircraft. The traveler may also undergo additional screening.

TSA will continue to adjust security measures to ensure that travelers are guaranteed the highest levels of aviation security conducted as conveniently as possibile.
