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.
