Following discussions with European Union Home
Affairs Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos and Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc,
the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is not expanding its laptop ban, though
an expansion is "still on the table," according to the agency. The
ban on laptops and other large electronic devices in airplane cabins affects
flights to the U.S. from 10 airports in the Middle East, North Africa and
Istanbul. DHS Secretary John Kelly had indicated last weekend on Fox News
Sunday that he was considering expanding the ban to all international
flights into and out of the U.S.
