U.S. could ban laptops on all international flights

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly on Sunday said he was considering banning laptop computers on international flights into and out of the country amid signs of "a real threat", AFP reported.

The U.S. already has a ban in place on electronic devices bigger than mobile phones on direct flights from 10 airports in seven Middle Eastern countries and Turkey. Recent reports indicated it had been considering expanding the ban to include European flights as well.
