EU folks are getting on the “put all your tiny amounts of liquids in a Zip-lok bag before you carry it on<\/a>” bandwagon.<\/p>\n

\n

Passengers were allowed to take only small amounts of liquids on board airplanes Monday as strict new security measures on hand baggage went into effect across the European Union.<\/p>\n

The new EU rules limit passengers to carrying 100 milliliters (a fifth of a pint) of liquid per container on board planes — part of regulations imposed after British police said in August that they had broken up a plot to bring down U.S.-bound flights with liquid-based explosives.<\/p>\n

[…] All liquids — not only water and soft drinks but also soups, creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, sprays, gels, toothpaste and shaving cream — are subject to security checks before passengers board their planes. The containers must fit into a clear re-sealable plastic bag to be presented at security checkpoints, officials said.<\/p>\n

The new rules do not affect liquids packed in checked luggage, or drinks and perfumes bought at airport shops after passengers clear security.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
