Egypt applies new US-UK security measures

EgyptAir has put into effect new security measures adopted by the civil aviation authorities in the United States and Britain after the latter foiled an alleged plot to blow up New York-bound flights in mid-air.

The extra security measures are applied only to flights to New York and London.

Under the measures, passengers are not allowed to carry hand bags, cellular phones, laptops and video games.

Powdered milk and necessary medicine like insulin for diabetics are excluded from the ban.
