The SMH reports today:
"Our favourite electronic devices are suddenly facing a very uncertain future on international flights under new security measures being introduced into airports in Britain and the US.
In response to recent revelations of a suspected bomb plot targeting some UK flights travelling to the US, transport and security agencies in both countries have issued strict new guidelines, which international airlines such as Qantas must observe.
The UK has already banned all electronic devices such as MP3 players, mobile phones and laptops from hand luggage on all flights departing from the country, while the US has taken the more conservative step of only banning liquids, gels and beverages from in and outgoing flights."
