Airport liquid restrictions are set to continue for the foreseeable future. It’s over 7 years now since the events of Sept 11th 2001 and 3 years since the London underground suicide bomb attacks. The liquid restrictions were brought in at airports all over the world in 2006.
It is expected to take at least five years to develop a machine capable of examining liquids without causing long delays.
Last month eight suspects were released without charge in London. They were accused of orchestrating a plot to destroy several UK planes with home made bombs masked as soft drinks.
A spokesman for the UK’s Transport dept ruled out any change in liquid restrictions for the time being.
