US officials are requiring that passengers coming to the US from some airports turn on electronic devices before boarding.
The measure aims to enhance aviation security at a time of increased threat.
Here is a look at what you can or cannot bring on flights to the US, according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), an agency of Homeland Security in charge of ensuring the safety of air travel.
:: Liquids
The US banned liquids in 2006 Liquids, aerosols and gels, in limited quantities, are safe to bring aboard an aircraft.
For carry-ons, officials allow 3.4oz (100ml) bottle or less (by volume), which should be placed in a 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag.
However, restrictions have been eased and in some cases - such as, if travelling internationally into the US with a connecting flight, if the container is transparent - larger quantities of liquid can be put in the carry-on.
Medications, baby formula and food, and breast milk are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Officers may need to open these items to conduct additional screening.
:: Sporting Equipment
Most sporting equipment can be checked in but cannot be brought in the cabin.
The TSA has not said which airports are subject to the extra screening Skates can be brought in a carry-on, but baseball or cricket bats, golf clubs or hockey sticks need to be put in the checked luggage, the TSA says.
:: Musical Instruments
The agency allows musical instruments to be carried on if they can be X-rayed or physically screened by security personnel.
The department vows that "security officers will handle musical instruments very carefully and will allow you to be as involved as possible in any physical screening".
However, if the instrument cannot be cleared, it must be checked in.
:: Blunt Objects:
Knives, scissors, box cutters, razor-like blades cannot be part of carry-on and must be checked in.
:: Food and Liquor
TSA gives advice as to how to speed up the screening For most foods the safest thing is to put them in the checked luggage. Jams, syrups, sauces, oils and vinegar, liquors that exceed the permitted 3.4oz will not be permitted in the cabin.
:: Pre-Check
The TSA has launched a "Pre-Check" scheme to speed up security lines at some airports. Passengers who meet certain criteria - for example members of the armed forces or certain types of frequent flyers - can apply, but their status can be revoked.
