Electronic Ban On Plane Coming Into United States Will Be Expanded.
CABRERA: Millions of Americans are expected to fly somewhere this Memorial Day weekend. But considered this a warning. Starting soon you might just have to check your computer, probably even your iPad before getting on the plane. Homeland security secretary John Kelly tells CNN the administration is considering expanding its electronic ban that already applies to some foreign flights coming to the U.S. And it could affect any electronic device larger than a cellphone. Here is CNN aviation correspondent Rene Marsh.</s>RENE MARSH, CNN AVIATION CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Travelers are on a move in expected record volume and the terror gives is as high as it was on September 11th. That's according to department of homeland security secretary, John Kelly.</s>JOHN KELLY, HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY: What I have learned in the last 120 days this, you know, relentless attempt on the part on terrorist to blow up airplanes in flight. Ideally bigger planes and a lot of people. We are watching numbers of very, very sophisticated advance threats right now.</s>MARSH: Travelers flying to the United States from ten airports in eight Muslim majority countries are already under a laptop ban meaning electronics larger than a cellphone are not allowed in the cabin of the plane over fears they may be used to detonate or conceal explosive. The ban is expected to expand to more countries soon.</s>JULIETTE KAYYEM, CNN NATIONAL SECURITY ANALYST: So this heightened language without any policy changes really leaves the American public at a disadvantage. That kind of language makes the American public do one or two things, freak out or tune out. And neither is good place to be.</s>MARSH: Travelers at ten U.S. airports may experience new TSA screening measures on large electronics. The agency is testing screening those item separately before allowing them onboard. All this on the heels of a terror attack on concert goers in Manchester, England and just four months after a gunman retrieved a nine millimeter handgun from his checked luggage at the baggage claim and opened fire in Forth Lather Dale. Now, secretary Kelly is warning Congress, homegrown lone wolf attacks will continue.</s>KELLY: As horrible as Manchester was, my expectation is we are going to see a lot more of that kind of attacks.</s>MARSH: it is why some are alarmed at President Trump's proposed 2018 budget cuts to TSA's viper program. The program dispatches 31 teams of law enforcement and explosive experts to soft targets based on the threat level. The budget cuts would leave only eight teams in place.</s>KAYYEM: There is no consistencies between the language of Secretary Kelly about the terror threat and what his budge looks like.</s>CABRERA: That was Rene Marsh recording.
