The 100ml liquid rule on flights was only supposed to be a temporary security measure put in place 18 years ago, but still exists.
Travel Expert Simon Calder explains the installation of state of the art scanners at seven UK airports should have removed the restriction on how much liquid can be carried and the need to use clear sealed bags at security.
However, these expensive machines have been fount to be not working as they should, causing chaos at airports, which has prompted the government to reintroduce the restrictions again, even in the airports where the scanners seem to be working correctly. Simon says: "I've worked out what is happening and it's all a complete mess."
Mike Graham thinks the issue isn't going to go away anytime soon. He says: "I fear we may have to explore this further before we get in to the absolute hot hell of the summer getaway."
