Air travel often becomes a hassle when a person has to carry various types of liquid in the airplane cabin per the guidelines set by TSA. While travelers have to be specific about the use of the liquids they carry, they also have to ensure the packing. However, this has now officially changed as the guidelines have allowed 12 types of liquid that could be carried regardless of their size.
According to Union Rayo, these guidelines have long been predicted to change. Initially, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) implemented several restrictions on the total amount of liquids carried by a person into the cabin after the 9/11 attacks.
The guideline allowed a traveler to follow 3-1-1, requiring passengers to carry liquids in small bottles not exceeding 100 ml. Moreover, the total liquid in their luggage must not exceed 1 L.
What liquids has TSA allowed passengers to carry?
TSA has allowed passengers to carry twelve liquid products classified as necessary for travelers. Moreover, they are no more or no less than the items related to daily essentials. The list includes the liquids on which passengers' health and well-being might depend.
