In addition, electronic devices such as laptops would no longer have to be unpacked during the inspection. According to the government, the new rules will apply at UK airports from June 2024. A corresponding bill will be presented to parliament on Thursday.
For security reasons, international airports worldwide currently only allow containers with liquids up to 100 milliliters in hand luggage, which must also be packed in their own transparent bag for inspection. This is to prevent liquid explosives from getting on board aircraft.
According to the British government, this can now be prevented by new security technology. The Ministry of Transport announced that the corresponding monitoring equipment must be installed at all major airports in the country within two years.
