Alert: TSA Refines Liquid Ban for Air Travel


The Transportation Security Administration announced that they are changing the regulations governing liquids carried onboard aircraft effective tomorrow.

Small size (less than 3 oz.) containers will be allowed if carried in a single, one quart size, clear zip-top bag. Additionally, travelers will be allowed to carry beverages purchased in the secure area of airport terminals onboard.

I think that it's important to point out (and I haven't seen anyone in the media address this) that the ability to board with beverages, indeed with any liquid is at the discretion of each airline. I'll be watching to see what they do. I expect that most will follow the TSA's lead -- but I'm sure that one or two will not.
Visit the TSA website for more details and as always, check with you airline or travel professional before flying.

You know what's funny about this? "Items must fit comfortably in the bag." There is no such requirement for passengers on the plane.
