EU is preparing to eliminate 100 ml limit for hand luggage liquids
The European Union is preparing to eliminate one of the most rigid and challenged rules in the civil aviation: the 100 ml limit for the liquids transported in the hand luggage. Introduced in 2006, after an attempt to attack with explosive liquids aboard transatlantic flights, these restrictions have become rapidly standard worldwide. But in recent years, technological progress in airport security has made this rule anachronistic. And now, the European authorities are preparing the transition to a new control model, more efficient and less intrusive.
According to a statement quoted by Euronews, European airports will have a term to implement the latest CT scans, which allow automatic detection of liquids and suspicious objects without having to get them out of their luggage or meet strict volume limits.
