This news reports that airlines with direct flights to the United States have been told to tighten screening of Mobile phones and shoes in response to intelligence reports of increased threats from al Qaeda-affiliated militant groups.

why phones and shoes?

It is said that US security officials fear bombmakers from AQAP have figured out how to turn the phones such as iPhone into explosive devices that can avoid detection.

Also, they are concerned that hard-to-detect bombs could be built into shoes.

Technology innovation benefits us a lot and made our lives convenient but on the other hand, it harms us too like this. Careful scrutinity would take a lot of time and money. I wish that the fear of terrorism would disappear and we will no longer need tight screening in the airport . It would take time but we can do it.
