Heathrow Scraps 100ml Liquid Limit

Heathrow Scraps 100ml Liquid Limit

Heathrow Airport in London has decided to stop the 100ml liquid rule in cabin bags.

They have spent £1 billion on new technology that can scan bags better without needing to take out the liquids.

This means travelers can now carry up to 2 litres of liquids in their hand luggage.

However, many people are not happy because the rule is not the same in all airports.

Some say it will cause more confusion.

Others are happy because they won't have to use tiny bottles anymore.

The new scanners will also save about 16 million plastic bags every year.

But, travelers are still worried because not all airports have this new technology, so the rules might be different when they come back.
