That means that after passengers go through airport security checkpoints, they can purchase liquids at airport stores and take them onto their planes.
New procedures also were announced for toiletries and products like lip gloss and hand lotion that passengers bring to the airport. Previously, those liquids have been confiscated at security checkpoints. Now, these products will be limited to 3-ounce sizes and must fit in a clear, 1-quart size plastic bag with a zip top. The bags will be screened and returned if they are cleared.
The new security regimen is for an indefinite period and will take effect Tuesday morning.
Just in time for NewMexiKen’s trip Thursday. Also, good time to buy stock in whomever makes one-quart zip bags.
Or you could just put things in your pocket, which worked very well for me last week. Evidently metal detectors don’t catch toothpaste and mouthwash.
