You are considering a getaway for a few days to a European city. You prepare your suitcase (be careful with this discount suitcase, which is a great deal) and the happy little bag of liquids. You can only carry liquids in individual containers of a maximum of 100 ml and placed in a transparent bag, but despite the fact that the regulations have been going on for years, it continues to cost you horrors.
you have gone to solid shampoonot only for the environment but also for reducing the liquids in your suitcase when you travel, and you even give up taking your favorite cologne so you don’t have to transfer it to a smaller boat.
Well, it seems that sooner than we thought, things could change because the possibility of end the ban on liquids in hand luggage at the airport.
The new airport scanners
This regulation with the use of liquids could disappear thanks to the implementation of high-tech 3D scanners which are already being tested at airports such as Stansted in London.
These types of scanners work like an X-ray scanner for computed tomography (CT) scans that produce high-resolution volumetric 3D images. Processing it this way shows a better image of the contents of the suitcase and thus, at the airport security control, it would not be necessary to remove liquids (or electronic devices) from the suitcase, nor would the liquid limit be 100 ml, but containers of up to two liters could be taken.
3D scanner technology is already used in airports such as Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta or in Chicago, at O’Hare, and the forecast is that in 2024 it will be used in airports around the world because the procedure would be expedited and queues at security controls would be reduced, decongesting many airports.
In Spain, nothing has yet been confirmed by AENA or the Ministry of Public Works, but we are looking forward to the time when we do not have to look with a magnifying glass that we carry in our toiletry bag. hand luggage.
