The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has issued a directive barring passengers on flights to the U.S. from 10 Middle Eastern and African airports from carrying large electronic devices on board. The order, issued March 20, takes effect on March 25 and requires that passengers place any electronic device larger than a cell phone in their checked baggage. It does not affect any U.S. airlines because none of them fly directly from the airports on the list.
