EU and UK Reinstate 100ml Liquid Rule for Airport Security
Air passengers in the UK and EU will continue to face the 100ml liquid restriction for hand luggage due to technical issues with new security scanners. Airports in Rome and Amsterdam had eased the rules with CT X-ray machines, but the EU reinstated the limit from Sunday to address scanner inaccuracies. The European Commission and UK government identified technical issues as the reason, offering no end date for the rule's return.
