the meeting and i ll have a read out. i understand. that s more of a d.o.t. issue. i would refer you to the department of transportation. they are very concerned about it. would he at least i understand in a and i hope that that comes up. to follow up on the dhs airline issue. if there is a danger to americans or flyers generally with having lap tops or things that are bigger than a cell phone from planes in those ten countries why wouldn t that also be a danger from other countries? as you can imagine i can t talk about the intelligence that we have. i can tell you the steps we are taking are appropriate commensurate with the intelligence that we have and then refer you to the department of homeland security and specifically the transportation security administration. one other question. everyone had two. okay. the president s traditionally issue a greeting to those celebrating the iranian new year. will president trump be doing that today. let me get back to you.
flights going to north america starting on tuesday. we do want to point out we believe at this point that nearly a dozen flights will be impacted, international flights. thank you very much. and for nought republican congressman from ohio, mike turner one of the lawmakers who questioned the fbi director and nsa director earlier today, i want to ask you about that but first breaking news on the terror threat on an incoming flight to the united states as you heard the reporting coming from al-qaeda people banned from lap tops, ipads from carrying them onboard the plane in the cabin itself. what you can tell us about this? we ve not been briefed but as the reports are indicating the department of homeland security is looking at this issue. we do all know from other news reports of not just about this that there has been some concern for some time about electronic items being used to hide explosive devices and their threats to airline traffic. yeah. so this is along the lines of th
