Popular Post Stillearly Posted January 23 Popular Post Posted January 23 Passengers at Britain's biggest airport, Heathrow, can leave liquids in containers up to two litres in their bags while going through security, after it finally completed the rollout of new high-tech CT scanners. Electronics such as laptops can also be left in luggage, while clear plastic bags for liquids no longer have to be used. Heathrow now says it is the biggest airport in the world to have the new equipment fully rolled out across all its terminals. But while it has become the largest airport to roll out the new high-tech scanners, it is far from the UK's first, with Gatwick, Edinburgh and Birmingham airports having upgraded to them in recent years and increased to a two-litre limit. At most UK airports, passengers can keep liquid containers of up to 100ml in their luggage, without having to remove them and use clear plastic bags. Bristol and Belfast airports have also raised their liquid limits to two litres. However, other airports that have the new scanners installed are waiting for the green light from the Department for Transport (DfT) to raise the limit from 100ml. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1evvx89559o 3 1 5 1
Nightcrawler Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Great news. Saves all that hassle buying bottled water airside for extortionate prices. I wish they would do away with belt removal as well. The shoe removal was all down to that c×nt Richard Read who his explosives in his shoes, but failed to ignite them. With advanced scanning and lower terrorist threats, going through airports should be easier The liquid restrictions will be a Godsend to many and speed up going through security 3 2

Only issues now are if you are not flying direct and through the ME or another hub , there could still be issues with liquid limits 2

I've heard that BM Butch insists on having a full cavity search every time he passes through security 😁😁😁 4
