Flying to the UK? Better charge your devices

The UK announced that it will follow in the footsteps of the US, which recently announced it will require all airline passengers with personal electronics to power them on in order to prove they're not housing any explosives.

This will mean you'll have to leave sufficient charge on your smartphone, tablet or laptop or else airport security might be forced to take it away from you.

Unlike the US, the UK will require only some passengers to turn their devices on but it's not disclosed which, only that some routes will be affected. Some reports suggest those routes are to the Middle East and parts of Asia.

In the unlikely event that your gadget's juice has suddenly gone MIA, British Airways will be kind enough to keep your device safe until you return.
