Travel into the US often? You might find that security measures are getting stricter – boarding the plane could now

require a few extra steps.

On the following pages we are going to look at the new measures being taken by the United

States Transportation Security Administration and what it could mean for your travel plans.

In a statement released at the

beginning of July by the

Department of Homeland

Security, TSA will “implement

enhanced security measures in

the coming days at certain

overseas airports with direct

flights to the United States. We

will work to ensure these

necessary steps pose as few

disruptions to travelers as

possible.”

Most of the new guidelines have not been revealed to the public, but one change has

become evident – TSA will not allow passengers to bring uncharged cell phones or

electronic devices onto planes entering the US. All devices must be able to turn on.

All those going through the security examination will be asked to show and power up

all their devices, such as cell phones, tablets, and other small electronics. Devices

without power will not be allowed on board the aircraft and the owner may have to go

through additional screening.

There have been no

explicit threats that have

prompted the new

guidelines.

According to CNN, a

homeland security official

said these new efforts are

based on intelligence

gained from terrorist

groups that are trying to

create explosives that are

harder to detect.

No official list has been published regarding which airports will be undergoing the new

security measures or which devices are most commonly checked. Though Britain’s

Channel 4 reported that Samsung Galaxy phones and iPhones are being singled out at

airports in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

"Our job is to ... try to anticipate the next attack, not simply react to the last one. And

so we continually evaluate the world situation, and we know that there remains a

terrorist threat to the United States, and aviation security is a large part of that," said

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson on NBC's "Meet The Press."
