U.S bans uncharged gadget

The United States has declared that it will not allow mobile phones — most especially iPhones and Samsung’s Galaxy devices — onto US-bound planes from some airports in Europe, the Middle East and Africa if the devices are not charged. The new measure is said to be part of the US Transportation Security Administration’s effort to boost surveillance amid concerns that terrorists are plotting to blow up an airliner. According to the TSA, security agents may ask travelers to turn on their electronic devices at checkpoints and if they do not have power, the devices will not be allowed on planes. The move is expected to cause chaotic scenes at airports around the globe. [Source: DailyMail]
