For almost 20 years, U.S. air travelers have been restricted to carrying liquids in 3.4-ounce (100 ml) containers, neatly packed inside a quart-size clear plastic bag - but new TSA technology is set to revolutionize this.
The rule was actually a counter-terrorism measure aimed at thwarting attacks using liquid explosives, with 100 ml being the maximum quantity that could explode within an aircraft cabin without causing catastrophic damage. It helped minimize the risk of dangerous substances slipping through security checks unnoticed.
However, new computed tomography (CT) scanners capable of analyzing the contents of bottles are currently being installed in America's busiest airports. This means that full-size items could soon be back on the menu, with the TSA releasing a list of 11 items that no longer need to adhere to the three-ounce rule, the Mirror US reports......
11 carry-on items you can bring onboard at any size
Over-the-counter medications
Prescription medications in gel, liquid or aerosol form
Ice packs or gel packs for medically necessary items
Food and drink for infants and toddlers
Wet batteries
Live fish transported in water
Biological specimens
Breast milk or baby formula
Liquid-filled teethers
Duty-free items sealed in a tamper-evident bag
Fresh eggs

The liquid limit was dumb. Just carry two containers and mix together in the men’s room. Is the TSA still checking shoes for C4? BTW, Foreign airports don’t do this shift.
Since 9/11 we’ve been treated like cattle.
I’ve got an interview for global entry next month.
I have TSA Precheck and Clear. At Atlanta Airport you wisk thru security in a flash.
I’m getting Global Entry to avoid that awful one to two hour customs line.
THey should get rid of the Federal
security altogether and let the airlines do it. I’ve been with Delta for 30 years. I shouldn’t have to go thru security. They know me.
Rediculous.
LOL
They’ll let me take my emotional support goldfish with me but I gotta pay for his seat. And have you ever tried to get a seatbelt around a goldfish? Don’t even start me about the oxygen mask...
I’m a big fan of Global Entry, good program, had it since 2009, just renewed a week ago. First time I used it I came from Thailand to Boston Logan with just carry-on, I set my stopwatch as I exited the plane, 4 minutes 25 seconds later I was in the terminal headed to my connection.
Pan Am was in charge of security for Pan Am 103.
On our flight to Jamaica back in 1990 we were allowed to bring a large jug of rum aboard and we enjoyed Rum and cokes the entire flight.
now i can’t bring a tube of toothpaste..
But now it’s illegal to bring your own alcohol on board for consumption, I remember that from my flight in January. Notice that duty free with tamper proof bags is supposedly allowed.
mu age, i’ll never set foot on a plane again...
It really pissed me off when they started screwing with hand sanitizer. Then we had COVID. Keeping one’s hands disinfected on planes is important. Stupid is as stupid does.
TSA is worthless.
Last couple of flights my wife an I took I got held up and harassed over a flashlight. Meanwhile my wife made it through security with several pocketknives in her purse. What a joke.
On a recent flight to Florida, I found a butane lighter on the floor of the plane.
But my flashlight was a major threat.
My commercial flight days are over.
Or go with the Elly May Clampett Hillbillette Belt.
Grenade !
Try a clean Milk Jug, if they’ll fit through the hole. You could even write their names on the Jug with a Sharpie.
Oooh- devious !!!🤪
