Is there a policy that refers to electronic devices that are carried onboard as hand luggage?
Several countries, including Britain and the United States apply the following measures:
All electronic devices (phones, tablets, laptops, e-books, video games, cameras, camcorders, etc.) as part of hand luggage, MUST have the batteries charged at time of boarding.
Travellers are being advised to power up electronic devices in hand luggage as part of new security measures introduced at UK airports. Passengers are advised to bring their battery chargers in your hand luggage. The battery can be charged in the boarding areas.
To avoid the risk of missing your flight or having your device taken away at security control, make sure it is fully charged and check that the airport you are travelling from has a charging point. If for any reason you have a device with a flat battery, charging points are available near security in most airports - so if you have enough time before your flight you should be able to charge it up.
