The current 100ml rule was introduced in 2006 and was expected to be a temporary measure
UK airports could scrap restrictions on the amount of liquid you are allowed to carry in your hand luggage on planes by 2024, The Times reports. Currently, you can take no more than 100ml in your hand luggage through airport security.
With the help of new scanning technology, this may no longer be necessary. The new scanners, similar to CT scanners, will give airport security staff a 3D image of the contents of peoples’ bags, rather than a 2D one. They can then rotate the image and zoom in to view the full contents of the bag.The scanners should also cut down waiting times in airports. It is expected that they will make the checking in process more streamlined than before.
Airports in the UK were criticised earlier in the year for their long waiting times, especially at security checks. In a survey by Which?,The 100ml rule was first introduced in 2006. It was expected to be a temporary measure put in place to deter terrorist attacks, after British police uncovered a plot to blow up several planes using explosives concealed in bottles. However, the rule has remained in place ever since.
However, for now, the restrictions remain in place. A spokeswoman for the Department for Transport said to the BBC:"Passengers at UK airports must not carry liquid containers larger than 100ml through security, and both liquids and electronics should be taken out of cabin bags at airport security checkpoints.”
