Passengers on US-bound flights from Britain are facing delays and extra security measures after a man was charged with trying to blow up a plane.

Security has also been ramped up at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, where the suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, went through “normal security procedures” before boarding the flight, according to security officials.

Abdulmutallab, 23, was charged in a federal criminal complaint Saturday with attempting to destroy the plane Friday on its final approach to Detroit Metropolitan Airport, and placing a destructive device on the aircraft, the Department of Justice said.

At Schiphol, secondary screenings were boosted Saturday with body searches and bag checksand being restricted to one item of hand luggage, officials said.
