![]() Meanwhile, Europe has gone through a decade of plans to drop its liquid rule. It still hasn’t, save for hand sanitizer. I know I’ve experienced it, and some of our readers have told us they’ve had the same experience.Īs far back as 2008, the TSA has said it would ease its restrictions on liquids. However anecdotally, there have been plenty of times that, at least in the U.S., passengers have brought liquids in their carry on in a much less organized way, as well as in amounts larger than the TSA’s rules would prefer. The rules for both countries otherwise haven’t changed since they were put into place. This has been in response to the COVID epidemic. and Canada, the liquid rules have been temporarily updated to allow each passenger to carry up to 12 ounces (U.S.) or 355ml (Canada) of hand sanitizer in their carry on bag. and Europe, so let’s look at those three in the years since the event in 2006: U.S. The terrorist plot specifically included Canada, the U.S. It’s easy enough to get around the rule ( Psst! Here’s a hack of how to do it) but some people would just as soon not. Each passenger is limited to one quart-size bag of liquids, gels and aerosols.” In countries that use the metric system, the rule is essentially the same, but it’s 100ml containers that can fit in a 1 liter (or sometimes, depending on the country, 20cm x 20cm) bag. As per the TSA, “each passenger may carry liquids, gels and aerosols in travel-size containers that are 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters. this is commonly known as the 3-1-1 liquid rule. But ever since then, passengers at most commercial airports around the world have had to limit the amount of liquids they bring with them when going through airport security. These rules were eventually eased in the months following the event. In the immediate days after the plot was discovered, most countries banned all (or nearly all) liquids from carry on bags. Seven of those were found guilty of conspiracy charges. Twenty-four suspects were eventually arrested in and around London for questioning. The liquids would be disguised as soft drinks, and would blow up select United Airlines, Air Canada and American Airlines flights originating from London Heathrow Airport.įortunately, authorities discovered the plot before it could be carried out. They would be carried on board airliners traveling from the United Kingdom to the United States and Canada. In August 2006, there was a credible terrorist plot to detonate liquid explosives.
