For quite some time now, travelers with hand luggage at UK airports have only been allowed to take liquids and creams in containers of up to 100ml on board a plane.
However, according to the daily expressSeveral UK airports are set to scrap the old '100ml liquid rule' and introduce new advanced 3D security scanners that provide detailed images of baggage contents.
