president trump signed this, his large travel ban, large portions will begin later today. they confirmed to nbc news overnight from the department of homeland security. already this morning, advocates worry airline and border agents may not be adequately prepared to enforce the new rules. president trump's controversial travel ban expected to take effect today. the restrictions on travel in the u.s. limiting entry to travellers from six muslim majority countries if they don't have any direct connection. the rollout following the supreme court decision monday clearing the way for now. the

foreign airport. this though, is instead of a ban on personal electronics we have been telling to you expect. it's all tied to the ongoing threat from isis. nbc's tom costello is on that part of the story. hey, tom, good morning. >> reporter: hoda, go remember to you. to be clear this does not affect domestic flights in the united states. this is for the 325,000 people who come into the united states every single day. airlines must meet tough new security requirements. if they don't, they could be banned from flying into the united states or everybody on board would be banned from having any personal electronics either in a cabin or the cargo hold. if international travel is in your immediate future, expect heightened security on the return flight home. homeland security ordering any airline that flies into a u.s. airport from abroad to meet strict new security protocols. >> we cannot play international whack a mole with each new threat. instead, we must put in place new measures across the board to keep the traveling public safe and make it harder for terrorists to succeed. >> reporter: the new measures come after isis claimed responsibility for a russian jet lining over egypt. since march, passengers coming from ten middle east and african airports have been required to bag check any device larger than a cell phone a. plan was shelved after airlines and frequent flyers pushed back. instead, a noble security upgrade, more thorough carry-on bag checks at foreign airports, more bomb-sniffing dogs, more swabbing for explosives. more 3d carry-on bag scanners like the ones tested if engs into. they warn ever foreign airport is at risk. >> you have returning flighters who have been trained by isis or groups in the middle east that are returning to locations all around the world. >> that could increase the possibility of smaller airports being higher risk. >> reporter: in miami, mixed reaction. >> i do feel that it's kind of targeted to certain countries. i feel that, you know, it should be all countries. >> i feel that the world we live in today is some crazy, you just never know what's going to happen. >> i feel like we're trying to put a band aid on a flesh wound and call it good. >> reporter: so 2,100 flights being affected every single day. they come from all corners of the world the middle east, europe, canada, the caribbean, mexico. everybody treated equally. as a result, the airline industries says it wishes there had been more collaboration. it says it refers a risk-based approach, you focus on the riskiest airports, instead you have to go along with who homeland security tells it to do. >> thanks. while we're on the subject of travel, a record 44 million americans expected to leave home for the fourth of july weekend. good news if

brooklyn. it took over two days to suit a jury. 200 were dismissed. they had negative intentions the prosecution is painting the brooklyn native as a liar, the defense said he is a genius and described him in odd parallels to the musical work of lady gaga t. star of opening stramts wasn't martin shkreli himself, but instead, lady gaga. the defense invoking her songs repeatedly. the defense attorney saying much like the pop star, his client was born this way, painting him as an eccentric genius who made millions for gossiping investors and colleagues. >> reporter: his attorney says they talked about him behind his back, saying he may be autistic or questioning his sexuality. is he strange? will you find him weird, yes, he was charged by the sec with committing a series of until frauds over a five-year period. he pleaded not guilty and has been freed on $5 million bond. these charges have nothing to do with what earned him the nickname farmer bro'. as ceo in 2015, he hiked the price of a life saving hiv drug by 5,000 percent from $13.50 to $1ri679 and copied the only copy of an album for a rumor of $400 and his attorney said you may have reason to hate him, but that is not a basis on which to convict. >> reporter: with all of these lady gaga references, do you wish robert had more of a poker face? >> i am happy with martin's face exactly the way it is. >> reporter: all right, so, the defense strategy here again, could it be the cureer to the prosecution's allegations, we'll find out shortly. now the trial is expected to take six weeks. as we know, he has
