If you’re passing through Bali, chances are you’ll notice that the airport is tightening up monitoring on travelers’ electronics.

Airport security will be screening not just laptops but also phones, tablets, and other devices, according to Ngurah Rai International Airport spokesman Arie Ahsanurrohim.

Which means one more thing (or several depending on how many devices you travel with) to pull out of your carry-on bag when going through security.

“Mobile phones, laptops, and other electronics being brought into the cabin must be removed from the bag for examination,” Ahsanurrohim said in Denpasar on Monday.

The security enhancement is reaffirmed by Directorate General of Civil Aviation Instruction No. 3 of 2017, which was set on on March 30 to address rampant bomb threats, according to Antara Bali.
