Liquid restrictions in hand luggage will soon be lifted in the UK thanks to high-tech 3D scanners. Sources told the BBC that authorities are considering introducing the new equipment by mid-2024.
Passengers can carry no more than 100 ml of liquid in hand luggage. During airport screening, the containers must be packed in a small transparent plastic bag and placed on the scanner belt separately from the rest of the luggage.
The rule was introduced in 2006 after British police uncovered a plot to blow up to 10 planes with explosives hidden in drink bottles. Since then, there have been restrictions on the transportation of liquids worldwide.
