I think we have 2 plausible options:

1) UK trying to curry favour with the USG 2) There's some concrete intelligence here, which is being shared and acted on

3) as mentioned in the US version of this thread, to make it easier to intercept and search electronic devices. I'll find a link to the comment.

E. Top comment, that was easy.

But you already have to scan the electronic devices at the security right. how is this different?

Don't you think that odd considering if only affects certain airlines?

You forget option 3, which is nearly always the case:

3) US says jump. UK says "how high"?
