Airports Begin Relaxing 100ml Liquid Limit Using Advanced CT Scanners
The longstanding 100ml liquid limit for carry-on luggage, introduced globally after a 2006 terror plot, is being relaxed at several airports due to advances in screening technology. Next-generation computed tomography (CT) scanners, which provide detailed 3D images of bag contents, enable security personnel to better distinguish harmless liquids from threats. This development may allow passengers to carry larger liquid containers through security, reducing previous packing restrictions while maintaining safety standards.
