Juror Flirting With John Edwards
Obama's Pot-Smoking Detailed
(Nov. 8) -- Ink and toner cartridges over 16 ounces have been added to the growing list of items that can't be carried aboard U.S. passenger flights or on flights bound for the United States.
The ban, announced today by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, also covers other cargo deemed high-risk. The changes follow the discovery of bombs concealed in ink cartridges on a U.S.-bound flight from the Middle East.
The bombs, which contained PETN, are believed to be part of a Yemen-based plot.
"These security measures reflect our commitment to using current intelligence to stay ahead of adversaries," Napolitano said, according to Bloomberg.
Last week, Homeland Security officials already were reviewing air cargo restrictions in the wake of the bomb plot. The head of the Transportation Security Administration traveled to Yemen to discuss security procedures with officials there.
