UK airports could scrap hand luggage rule banning liquids over 100ml at security

Airports could soon be scrapping certain rules at security thanks to new technology.

The UK Government is considering installing 3D scanners in airport security which would see the the end of the 100ml restriction on liquids and travellers would no longer have to separate things into plastic bags.

According to the Times, major airports could see the new tech installed in 2024 and passengers could keep items such as cosmetics and liquids in their luggage while going through security for the first time in 16 years.
