Though no specific threats were confirmed, the ban was the result of intelligence suggesting people could hide explosives in the batteries of devices such as laptops.
At the Aspen Security Forum, DHS Secretary John Kelly shared that officials have actually tested out a laptop bomb on an airplane. The result?

But this isn't the end for scrutiny of devices on airplanes. The announcement of the end of the laptop ban comes on the heels of new restrictions for U.S.-bound flights from Canada and Mexico.
The new restrictions include heightened canine screenings and screenings of personal devices, as well as "increased security protocols."
Passengers on these flights can, however, use electronics freely, meaning the protocols aren't as restrictive as those previously faced by travelers from the Middle East.
