After the recent end of the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) shoe-removal policy, questions have arisen about whether the agency might next lift its restrictions on liquids. The "3-1-1" rule limits carry-on liquids, gels, and aerosols to 3.4 ounces per container in a clear resealable bag.
David Pekoske, former TSA administrator, expressed intentions last year to end this policy "earlier rather than later," though he noted it was not imminent. He highlighted that deploying CT scanners nationwide is crucial for such changes but is expected only by the 2040s.
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem indicated an openness to reevaluating all TSA rules at a news conference on July 8. She emphasized that any changes would depend on having adequate technology to ensure safety.
