Heathrow and Manchester airports have told passengers to ensure all electronic devices carried as hand baggage are charged before travel if they are flying to the us. The move follows a request from the US that certain overseas airports implement enchanced security measures. A new rule states that if a device doesnt switch on, you wont be allowed to bring it on to the aircraft. Airline staff will carry out checks on the devices at boarding gates. British Airways has said that its customers face being made to rebook if they are found in possession of an uncharged device. The department for transport declined to say whether other UK airports would enforce similar restrictions on flights to the US. American officials said last week they were aware of a credible terrorist threat, but have not linked the security changes to any specific intelligence. Courtesy of the BBC news.
