The European Commission has backed new aviation security rules that will restrict the amount of liquids passengers may take on board planes. It said limits on the size of carry-on bags would go into force in six months. The new security rules are expected to come into force in early November and would allow passengers to carry on small toiletry items, such as toothpaste, contact lens solution and perfume. Passengers will be permitted to take on board one re-sealable plastic bag of a maximum size of 1 liter (34 ounces) in which liquid items can be placed. Liquids will have to fit into containers that are 100 ml or smaller.
The Commission said certain exceptions would be made for medicine, baby food and other dietary needs.
