TSA says you must turn on electronic device before boarding- or it/you can't fly

Passengers at some overseas airports that offer U.S.-bound flights will soon be required to power on their electronic devices in order to board their flights — a measure intended to enhance aviation security at a time when intelligence officials are concerned about hidden explosives, a counterterrorism official said

The Transportation Security Administration says it is adding the requirement that passengers coming to the U.S. from some airports must turn on devices such as cellphones before boarding. It says devices that won't power up won't be allowed on planes and those travelers may have to undergo additional screening.
What could go wrong?

It sounds like they got some chatter talking about phone/laptop bombs or the like.
Seems like they are trying to avoid that by making them have to be functioning.

I guess they'll have to make Samsung users plug in those spare batteries they carry with them. What a PITA that will be.

Yet we allow anyone who wants to walk across the Mexico boarder whenever they want.

We are f'ed if their detection measuring devices can't pick up a bomb without it being "on"

1. No we don't.
2. That is neither here nor there.
3. It's not even remotely the same type of safety situation.
You're an idiot.

Just when they had started to make progress with speeding up the security scan, this will no dobt back us up a good while.

I usually have them on anyway. generally only fly with a kindle and a laptop or tablet. and a phone

All these kids can walk across the boarder with no problem. So a terrorist that wanted to attack the US could do the same.

DHS oversees both TSA and CBP. They are ultimately responsible for protecting all of America's borders.

At least you spelled it, correctly.

Oh well I never thought of that way. You're really smart, man.

I don't know how I'd ever sleep if this imminent threat was constantly thwarted.

So you would be willing to part with those in the event the battery dies?
On another note, I wonder if they will offer to power up your phone by collecting its data.

If I had told any of you this 15 years ago, would you have believed it? I remember getting pissed that I couldn't have a CD player on, and now it's a requirement that it be on?

This is only for certain international flights to the US from the departure airport.

It's really not. Someone bringing an explosive on a plane is a danger RIGHT NOW, RIGHT THIS SECOND.
Someone crossing the border isn't necessarily an immediate danger to anyone right this second.
It's not the same. But I'm glad to see you still have a bone to pick with me after your little feelings were hurt on the SB.

Damn when I go on vacation my phone always ends up dying before I can get a charge. So I wont be able to fly until I have a good charge? That's stupid.
If you plant a bomb in a laptop there is a unwritten rule that it cannot possible. I dunno.... WORK?
I travel with 2 phones, a tablet (plus my wife's table if she is with me and her phone), Camera's, camcorder. So I guess I better have extra chargers specifically for TSA.
