REVEALED: Terrorists are finding new ways to 'plant bombs in laptops to get past airport security undetected'

Terrorists may now be using laptops to conceal bombs that could evade airport security, US security intel sources say.

New government analysis suggests that terrorist organizations like ISIS and al-Qaida have developed innovative ways to plant bombs in electronic devices, CNN reports.

US intelligence believe terrorists are testing the effectiveness of their hidden explosives using commonly used airport security equipment.

The bombs are possibly being built into laptops in a way that allows the devices to contain enough power to briefly power on and fool security screeners.
