The White House will only say that intelligence is the reason why certain electronics have been relegated to the hold or banned for direct flights from some airports.
The Transportation Safety Administration gave 13 countries 96 hours to implement a plan to prohibit most electronics larger than a cell phone from the passenger seating - although the other limitations on lithium ion batteries in the luggage areas will complicate matters.
White House Spokesman Sean Spicer would only confirm the TSA announcement.
IN: "Elevated intelligence...
OUT: ...departure airports."
