Ease ban on liquids on aircraft

Posted by Bronwen Maher on November 11, 2009 at 05:00 PM

Labour MEP Nessa Childers has called for an immediate lift of the ban on liquids such as toothpaste or baby bottles bought by travellers in European airports and for a total lift of the ban by 2013 at the latest.

Nessa Childers said: "We still need tight security rules in the fight against terrorism, but once new technology is available in airports, this ban will be totally unnecessary.

“It will improve the travelling experience for many passengers throughout the EU. As an MEP who travels constantly through Dublin and Brussels airports, I know how frustrating it can be see ones liquid’s thrown out by security staff.
