Yoo Hoo--They are going to lift liquid size ban

By Fall 2009, you can bring any size liquids but you still have to have it in a separate bag to be screened. By 2010, you won't have to do that. They have improved screening equipment that can determine dangerous liquids. For COO passengers this is really great news.

That is great news. Just flew to SF recently and we did not have to take the ziplocks out to show them as we have in the past. I forgot a water bottle in my handbag and it was spotted with the screening equipment.
It will be wonderful to carry on large size liquids again.

From this article, it doesn't sound like the lift is set in stone yet... Don't get your hopes up.

That would be fabulous. This liquid restriction can be such a pain.

I wonder if the seperate bag has to be clear, or if you can use a regular toiletry bag and have them inspect that. I guess time will tell.

Pssst in your carryon isn't an aerosol, it's a liquid.

It turns into an aerosol when you spray it from the can. Shake the can and you'll feel/hear the liquid inside.

Are they going to increase the allowed baggie size? They could allow 55 gallon drums on board and it wouldn't do us any good if we still had to shove it into that tiny bag.

I don't ever travel with full sized products but you can't even carry travel size containers right now. Even they are too large. And that quart size baggy--I'm so thankful we won't be restricted to just what it will hold.

Connie, no offense, but if you don't need full sized ones, you aren't traveling for long enough!

Since I'm in the habit of checking one small suitcase, it really won't make a difference to me personally. But hopefully one less thing to hold up the lines at security in airports.

YAHOO!!! FINALLY!! Speaking as a Texas gal whose hairstyle requires aerosol hair spray, I am SO happy! I've tried at least 5 different kinds of travel-sized hair spray and NONE worked as well as my big Matrix aerosol.
