New security measures for international & domestic flights - Impact on my UA flights?

Flying FRA>IAD on Friday, and I just received an email from United:

Subject: Additional security measures for international flights to the U.S

Important update on your upcoming flight



Additional security measures for international flights to the U.S.



Beginning this week, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will require additional security measures for all international flights to the U.S. These measures include enhanced screening of travelers, as well as heightened screening of electronic devices larger than a standard smartphone. Travelers may need to remove these devices from their protective cases or outer packaging for inspection.

For international flights, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recommends arriving at the airport at least three hours before your flight, allowing time for the additional security measures.

For more information, please visit the DHS website (www.dhs.gov).
Has anyone else gotten this email? Any idea how much more time I should build in? I'm coming from a meeting in Cologne, and I'm a bit worried, as I'm already a bit tight on time.
