According to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announcement, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is launching a new array of enhanced security measures at overseas airports that have direct flights to the United States.
Release Date: July 2, 2014 For Immediate Release
DHS Press Office Contact: 202-282-8010

DHS continually assesses the global threat environment and reevaluates the measures we take to promote aviation security. As part of this ongoing process, I have directed TSA to implement enhanced security measures in the coming days at certain overseas airports with direct flights to the United States.

We will work to ensure these necessary steps pose as few disruptions to travelers as possible. We are sharing recent and relevant information with our foreign allies and are consulting the aviation industry. These communications are an important part of our commitment to providing our security partners with situational awareness about the current environment and protecting the traveling public.

Aviation security includes a number of measures, both seen and unseen, informed by an evolving environment. As always, we will continue to adjust security measures to promote aviation security without unnecessary disruptions to the traveling public.
While details are few and far between, it appears that European airports will be the primary target. US officials have voiced concern that US and EU passport holders are joining ISIS/TIS in droves, only to return to their country of origin and blow everything up. According to yet another unnamed official,  "...Washington [has] legal authority to enforce new security requirements on foreign governments or airports because the flights go directly to the United States..." 

Since the United States is quickly escalating its aggressive involvement in Syria and Iraq, the Obama administration anticipates a retaliatory attack, which they assume will involve airplanes.
