EU to lift liquids ban in 2012......

According to this article

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009...ty-proposals-air-travel-disruption

EU security officials have looked into lifting the current liquids in hand luggage ban. The article states that from 2012 the EU will lift the current liquids ban at airports in the EU handling over 10 million passengers.

Airports handling less than 10 million will have to wait until 2014 for the ban to lifted at their airport. However the smaller airports can have the ban lifted in 2012 if they invest in new scanners that can detect suspect liquids.

Additionally passengers from non EU countries will be able to carry liquids on internal EU flights from next year.

These proposals were discussed during a meeting in Brussels last week of security officials from EU member states and will be subject to further consultation before being put to the European parliament. The parliament has asked the commission to draft new guidelines by 30 April 2010, when current regulations expire.
