Then, on the plane, since it's only 1hr20mins to New York, they informed us we could not use the bathroom all flight, not get up, not access carry on luggage at all due to the failed terrorist attack (the pilot actually announced and talked about it over the PA).

This morning, flew LACSA from New York to Costa Rica and it was the same thing, while no body search as we were already in the US I guess, once on the plane they announced that during the final hour of the flight, no one could get up or access their bags or use the bathrooms anymore.

Nothing mentioned about electronics any different than usual though.
