Their argument is ambiguous, saying that extremists plan to take down passenger planes with the help of hidden explosive devices. The new law prohibits the transportation of laptops, tablets, cameras / video and DVD players in cabin luggage on 9 airlines, which operate from 10 airports.

The nine affected airlines are: Royal Jordanian, Egypt Air, Turkish Airlines, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Kuwait Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Qatar Airways, Emirates and Etihad Airways

The 10 airports targeted are: Queen Alia International, Amman, Jordan; Cairo International Airport, Egypt; Ataturk Airport, Istanbul, Turkey; King Abdulaziz International, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; King Khalid International, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Kuwait International Airport; Mohammed V International, Casablanca, Morocco; Hamad International, Doha, Qatar; Dubai International, United Arab Emirates; Abu Dhabi International, United Arab Emirates.

Large electronic devices can only be carried in the hold baggage. Phones / smartphones have escaped the new transport rules on board aircraft.

U.S. officials have given airlines about a 96-hour break to inform passengers about the new regulations and enforce them.
