NEW EU SECURITY RULES AT AIRPORTS
A BRIEF GUIDE TO HELP YOU
To protect you against the new threat of liquid explosives, the European Union (EU) has adopted new security rules that restrict the amount of liquids that you can take through security checkpoints. They apply to all passengers departing from airports in the EU whatever their destination.
This means that, at security checkpoints, you and your hand luggage must be checked for liquids in addition to other prohibited articles. However, the new rules do not limit the liquids that you can buy at shops located beyond the point where you show your boarding pass or on-board an aircraft operated by an EU airline.
The new rules apply from Monday, 6th. November 2006 at all airports in the EU and in Norway, Iceland and Switzerland until further notice.
WHAT IS NEW?
While packing
You are only allowed to take small quantities of liquids in your hand luggage. These liquids must be in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100 millilitres each. You must pack these containers in one transparent, re-sealable plastic bag of not more than one litre capacity per passenger (see photo below).
At the airport
To help screeners detect liquids, you must:
* present all liquids carried to the screeners at security checkpoints for examination
* take off your jacket and/or coat. They will be screened separately whilst you are screened
* remove laptop computers and other large electrical devices from your hand luggage. They will be
screened separately whilst you are screened.
.
Liquids include:
* water and other drinks, soups, syrups * creams, lotions and oils
* perfumes * sprays
* gels, including hair and shower gels * contents of pressurised containers, including shaving foam, other foams and deodorants
* pastes, including toothpaste * liquid-solid mixtures
* mascara * any other item of similar consistency
WHAT DOES NOT CHANGE?
You can still:
* pack liquids in bags that you check-in - the new rules only affect hand luggage
* carry in your hand luggage medicines and dietary requirements, including baby foods, for use
during the trip. You may be asked for proof that they are needed
* buy liquids such as drinks and perfumes either in an EU airport shop when located beyond the point where you show your boarding pass or on-board an aircraft operated by an EU airline.
If they are sold in a special sealed bag, do not open it before you are screened – otherwise the contents may be confiscated at the checkpoint. (If you transfer at an EU airport, do not open the bag before screening at your airport of transfer, or at the last one if you transfer more than once).
All these liquids are additional to the quantities in the re-sealable plastic bag mentioned above.
If you have any doubts, please ask your airline or travel agent in advance of travel.
Please be courteous and co-operate with airport security and airline staff.

You could be a little cynical and think that all those shop owners in departures are rubbing their hands together as you have to buy your drinks from them..I can see a sharp rise in the price of pop!!
But if it stops those scum so-called religious fundamentalists blowing us up then its a price worht paying..
I love the irony that if there is a heaven and hell, these terrorists are going staight to hell..hehehehehe |

...and whatever you do don't try and take a snowskate through as handbaggage - security don't find that funny at all!!
Seriously though the restrictions may still be tighter in the UK than in Europe - so bear with the security staff whilst these restrictions are in place. |

| Also remember about countries outside the EU so watch what your bringing back from duty free. I travel through amsterdam alot and tons of people on connecting flights are having duty free removed basically coz they bought it outside the EU. Dont waste your pennies people. |

| Are we allowed normal size hand luggage? There was a point when you could only take a laptop sized bag on. |
