I think the issue/change is that the 'size' is now specified, not just laptops/computers but anything larger than a cell phone....and that each must be placed in a separate bin for xray scanning...and this is TSA in the U.S.A. airports. It does say they are already in effect at 10 airports, but now I guess it is expanding to others....

"Under the new rules, travelers will be asked to remove electronic devices larger than a cellphone from their bags and place them in separate bins for screening. TSA officials said the goal is to give officers clearer X-ray images."
