Liquids Rule Could Be the Next Airport Security Screening Change, DHS Secretary Suggests
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Homeland Security is reviewing the TSA's 3.4-ounce liquid limit with plans for pilot programs using new screening technology to improve efficiency while maintaining security.
- On Wednesday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem hinted that TSA's liquid container size limit may change, coming days after ending the “shoes-off” requirement, and `the liquids I'm questioning, so that may be the next big announcement is what size your liquids need to be,` she said.
- The 3.4-ounce liquid restriction was set in 2006 after a foiled liquid explosives plot, and now technological advances are prompting a formal review.
- Noem cautioned against expecting any near-term shift, saying not to expect a change “in the next week or two,” while TSA plans pilots at select airports.
- Travelers weary of liquid size caps may see relief soon, and a DHS spokesperson said policy changes will be announced through official channels.
- The broader push seeks to speed up airport processes while maintaining protection, Noem said, reflecting efforts to modernize security and improve traveler experience.
