A DHS statement said the ban was "under consideration" and a decision would be based on possible threats to safety. The agency "will make changes when necessary to keep air travelers safe," according to the non-committal statement.
Speculation about the expanded ban comes just a day after the United Nations aviation agency met and discussed a global plan for airplane electronics bans. Countries targeted by the U.S. and UK bans spoke out about being unfairly penalized, according to Reuters.
The UN group will come back with global recommendations mid-June for flying with electronics and how to best store the devices and their lithium-ion batteries. The group is also looking into mitigating security risks with hidden explosives in the main cabin.
