European Union Airport security rules change
Charles Starmer-Smith, reporting in the Telegraph, says that passengers will be able to take liquids through airport security checkpoints from November 6, under changes announced by the European Union on Thursday.
"Liquids - including drinks, soups, syrups, creams, oils, perfumes, gels, shaving foam, deodorants, toothpaste, mascara and lip salve - must be sealed in individual containers up to a maximum capacity of 100 millilitres each. The containers must then be placed in one transparent, re-sealable plastic bag (up to one litre capacity per passenger)."
Now, before you get too excited, please try to imagine what you will do with 100 millilitres (a squirt, basically) of drink or soup. They've got to be having us on, right?
