The United Kingdom recently followed America in our step to ban all big electronic devices on flights that are flying in from Muslim-majority countries. Fliers can still travel with their devices, but they must have them packed in their checked baggage. Pretty much all devices bigger than the average cell phone are banned. For example, fliers are not permitted e-books, laptops, tablets, etc. The U.S. ban covers 10 airports in eight Muslim based countries, while the U.K. ban applies to six countries.
