Intelligence from Yemen raid led to laptop ban from certain countries

Daily Mail:

Laptop ban on flights 'is based on intelligence about an ISIS plot to target the West gathered during the raid on Yemen which killed Navy SEAL'

• The intelligence centered around al-Qaeda's 'successful development' of compact battery bombs that fit inside laptops or other devices, sources claimed
• Bombs would reportedly be manually triggered which explains cabin luggage ban
• The US and the UK have instituted similar bans on large electronics in carry-on bags for direct flights from certain Middle East and North African nations
• The US ban applies to 10 airports in Morocco, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates 
• Britain's restrictions apply to flights originating from the countries of Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia 
• Electronics cellphone sized and small will still be permitted in passenger cabins 
• Restrictions come a year after the bombing of Daallo Flight 159, in which a bomber used an explosive hidden inside a laptop 

So far Democrat judges and the ACLU have not alleged a violation of the constitutional rights of potential bombers or that the restriction involves a religious test.  But if their attempt to grant constitutional rights to non-citizens is upheld, I suspect they would push their theory in that direction.
