Restrictions: A ban on liquids in passenger hand luggage has been in place since 2006

Newly approved airport scanners will allow passengers to carry toiletries and bottles of liquid in their hand luggage within the next 12 months, transport bosses confirmed today.

A complete ban on carrying liquids over 100ml onto aircraft is still in place at airports, but the ruling could be changed by the end of next April after new devices were approved by the Department for Transport.

Airline passengers will still have to remove bottles from their hand luggage to be inspected, but will no longer be banned from carrying liquids in containers larger than 100ml.

The newly-tested and approved airport scanners will be installed at every airport in Britain and the EU by April 2013, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The move will ease the flying experience for passengers previously inconvenienced by lengthy inspections and having to hand over expensive toiletries.

Transport Secretary Phillip Hammond had previously hinted that regulations would be eased, after saying he sympathised with parents with young children who had to taste jars of baby food and drink to prove they were safe.

Initially a complete ban on liquids on aircraft was introduced in August 2006, after a terrorist bomb plot to create an explosive with liquids on board a plane was uncovered.

British police uncovered an al Qaeda plot to blow up transatlantic airliners bound for North America using bombs made from liquid explosives.

The new scanners have been tested at numerous airports as part of EU trials.

One of the scanners thought to have approved is the Insight 100, a device capable of scanning bottles for explosives in under 10 seconds.

A Department for Transport spokesperson confirmed devices had been approved, adding it was working with the EU to meet the April 29 deadline on lifting current restrictions.

Last year research revealed that over one in four of us have ‘smuggled’ liquids past airport security, either by accident, or entirely deliberately.

The survey, by flight comparison site Skyscanner, indicates that 28 per cent of travellers have attempted to carry liquids past airport checkpoints, despite the longstanding regulations.

It is all so unnecessary. Simply require each passenger, with ALL their baggage to enter a sealed booth. One inside activate electronic, ultrasonic, and other mechanisms sufficient to detonate any bomb. They may then walk out freely the other side, and proceed to passport control and baggage check in.

PART 2. Above this , the TATP does not form; instead, diperoxide forms, which is so unstable it cannot be worked with. The time required .. is at least 24 hours and often several days.
“Once the TATP forms, it crystallizes as snowflakes from the solution and must be harvested by filtration and the liquid discarded. It ..then is dried and carefully stored below 10 C or it converts spontaneously to the unstable diperoxide.
This chemical process is much more sensitive than making, for example, nitroglycerin.” from a PhD chemist ..
and all of this in the airplane loo ..

AND NOT BEFORE TIME! …………………………………………………………………………………… This was yet another crazy piece of legislation that served no purpose except to slow down, confuse increase the cost of an already expensive chaotic form of travel

I always thought that the liquid ban only applied to items being taken onto the aircraft in hand luggage. When I told the grouncrew at Sydney airport that stuff is only taken off you at Heathrow if you are carrying it in your hand luggage they disbelieved me.

Does this mean an end to pig-ignorant security men confiscating my bottles of Lucozade then, despite me carrying a doctor’s letter, and pleading me with them not to? Type 1 diabetics usually have a rough time at airports.

Remember what caused all this, there are alternatives to Lib/Lab/Con

And what happens to all the confiscated bottles , tubes etc? When I went through Heathrow recently the bin for these materials was as full as your picture, and on a superficial inspection also contained completely full bottles of VERY expensive perfumes. Are we to believe they’re ALL thrown away, or are maybe a nice ‘perk of the job’ for the border agency guards?
