US Travellers can takes wireless devices on board

Some reassuring news from Alan Reiter, with the latest information from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration. Passengers may carry on laptops, cellular phones and other electronics while travelling in the US, contrary to news reports following Thursday's foiled terrorist attempt.

However, "this policy does not extend to British airlines and airlines flying from U.K. airports. From United Airlines: "Passengers are advised that ALL electrical or battery powered items including laptops, mobile phones, portable music players, remote controls etc cannot be carried in the cabin and must be checked in as hold baggage."
