Reports say people flying from Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Yemen and Cuba will have pat-down body searches and have carry-on baggage searched.
The Transportation Security Administration said in a statement that the new rules apply to passengers flying from or through countries on the US State Department's "State Sponsors of Terrorism" list - Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria - and "other countries of interest".
As a terrorist leader, I now would call a sleeper from one of my cells inside the US and tell him to suicide bomb a central subway station during rush hour. Everybody is concentrating on airports and the news headlines would be something like "Officals were so not expecting this".
