Europeans will not have a veto to take laptops on flights to the United States

Finally, the news is good for users who usually make trips to the United States from Europe in the case that we spoke a week ago about the possibility that the United States would veto access to the cabin of any electronic device that exceeds a smartphone in size. Obviously within these measures you could see laptops, tablets, consoles and other electronic devices but finally it seems that the standard that the United States Department of Homeland Security wanted to implement for these European flights It will not be carried out despite the existence of other types of security measures.

For those who did not get to read the news, this is followed by the restriction of access to these devices that was imposed in March by the United States Department of Homeland Security with flights from countries like Africa and the Middle East. Now it was intended that some of the flights from the European Union also fall within this package of security measures and force users to check in their computers.

On these measures that they intend to implement, those of a more severe scan or the use of technologies that serve to see the behavior of passengers before boarding the aircraft are affirmed. And it is that the International Air Transport Association, explains that if these initial revisions are applied to the flights, their safety would improve and millions of losses (about 1.100 million dollars) would be avoided by not allowing their passengers to upload the devices on the planes.
