Is the US lifting its gadget ban on US-bound flights?

The US ban on electronic devices larger than a smartphone on flights from the Middle East to the US has raised numerous questions.

Why did the US announced the ban in the first place? Was it because of security?

Or, was there a business reason as well? Why was the Middle East singled out to begin with?

Will Dubai be next or will Saudi and Turkey have their bans lifted first?

Deputy Business Editor Shweta Jain, a long-time aviation reporter, joins us to talk about the issues surrounding this controversial topic.
