"Our top priority will always be to maintain the safety of British nationals," a front man said after the US imposed a similar ban, warning that snuffies plan to target planes with bombs in electronic devices.

The United States warned on Tuesday that snuffies plan to target passenger jets with bombs hidden in electronic devices, and banned carrying them onto flights from 10 Middle East airports.

Senior US officials told news hounds that nine airlines from eight countries had been given 96 hours, beginning at 3:00 am, to ban devices bigger than a cellphone or smartphone from the cabin.
The Times of Israel adds:
US and British officials said Tuesday the decision to bar laptops and tablets from the cabins of some international flights wasn’t based on any specific threat but on longstanding concerns about Death Eaters targeting jetliners.
