After a scare in the air this week, the U.S. has purposed stronger regulations for incoming international flights to the U.S., which will prevent you from using your electronics on board. The ban is only for international flights coming into the US, and not for domestic flights in the U.S.

The TSA released a statement regarding the new changes:
"Passengers flying from international locations to U.S. destinations may notice additional security measures in place. These measures are designed to be unpredictable, so passengers should not expect to see the same thing everywhere. Due to the busy holiday travel season, both domestic and international travelers should allot extra time for check-in."

According to a post on Twitter, the new security measures will add body searches and the electronic ban will be for international flights only. The New York Times also reports that passengers will not be allowed to move from their seats an hour before landing, when the plane begins to descend.
