International security

The United States and The United Kingdom recently implemented new security measures by banning electronic devices from passenger cabins of flights coming from North Africa and Middle East. These measures come after African attendees were denied visas into the United States as they tried to attend the annual African trade summit in California. These international security measures come as efforts to combat terrorism and insecurity. However, recently the Westminster attack in the United Kingdom was another unfortunate example that terrorism can come from within rather than outside a country.
