Bringing a laptop or tablet on a Mexico-to-U.S. flight? Beware of new security measures

Mexican authorities say the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has instituted heightened security measures for laptops and tablets on U.S.-bound flights from the country.

Mexico's Transportation Department said in a statement that the measures take effect starting Wednesday for “electronics larger than a cellphone.”

It recommends passengers carry as few of those devices as possible in carry-on bags and advises that such electronics must undergo separate security checks without cases or covers.

I am thinking that they will not be thrilled with this inconvenience. It smacks as punishment for Mexico not being nice enough to Trump. Hitting Mexico in tourist trade.

As they do this we lose more and more revenue from tourists. It seems the only money we get is illegal funds that are only here to be laundered.
