After the recent bomb threat on a flight to Detroit, there were many rumors going out on new security regulations for flights to the United States. No electronics, no blankets or standing up the last hour of the flight, and passengers can only have on carry on. Having an upcoming trip to Boston, I was not looking forward to all these new regulations. For one, I easily get bored and like being able to use my IPod Touch and two, I like being bundled up with blankets on a long flight!
However, most of these rules were false. The only one that held true is the one carry on. The extra added security measure occurred at boarding, which resulted in flights being slightly delayed to the States. At the boarding gate, all passengers had to get their carry ons thoroughly checked and get patted down before entering the plane. Other than that, the rest of the flight was normal.

thats good to hear, i think different airports and flights will be the ones either relaxing or tightening security at their discretion.
I was talking to my friend who recently arrived in the US. He said security was backed up almost 4 hours at Heathrow, they were conducting these security checks that they’ve never done in the past.
