Although the end of carrying containers of more than 100 milliliters of liquid in hand luggage when traveling planethe truth is that this is only an exception for the moment.
The UK announced last week that, thanks to new 3D scanners, they will extend the limit to two liters and it will not be necessary to remove electronic devices from the suitcase at the controls. However, what was announced will not come true until June 2024as announced by the Ministry of Transport.
This measure, approved within the framework of a bill presented on Thursday, will be implemented progressively, as indicated by the British government.
With everything, current regulations still limit maximum capacity of the containers in the hand suitcase at 100 milliliters, which must also be placed in transparent bags for the security control.
Some standards from the year 2000
The current rules were applied in the early 2000s for avoid the use of liquid explosives on airplanes. However, with the advancement of technology, more and more airports are adding to the flexibility of controls.
A clear example is the Amsterdam Schiphol or Helsinki airport, where liquids and laptops no longer have to be separated from luggage. In addition, in the United States the new 3D scanners have also been tested in about 15 airportsincluding those in Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego and Chicago.
