EU rules on liquid carry-ons may become "fluid"
Okay, so don't rush to celebrate the change.
That being said, the EU's transportation officials are pressuring the technology companies involved to move quickly.
The rules against liquids in containers larger than 100 ml and not in clear bags have been in effect for three years, after a terrorist plot was uncovered in Britain. The perps were planning to use liquid explosives in soda cans.
Now that everyone's safe, we're also free to gripe about what we can't take on board – not to mention longer waits at security checkpoints. Progress may be slow, but at least it's happening. Let's give a nod to innovative thinking, with a technological solution being devised to give us back some of our time without compromising our security.
If you need action sooner, there's a chance that the rules may be eased a bit for duty-free liquids bought outside the EU.
