TSA “Likely” to Relax Liquid Restrictions Sometime in 2009

Filed under: Travel Safety, Security — Rick Seaney @ 2:34 pm

Encouraging news: Scott McCartney of the “Middle Seat Terminal” writes that TSA Chief Kip Hawley thinks those restrictions on the amount of liquid you can carry through security will be relaxed — maybe by this time next year.

“We are within a year of having the ability to differentiate threat liquids through the screening process.” - Kip Hawley, TSA

Our Man in the Middle adds that the TSA “has been testing X-ray machines that can detect liquid materials used in bomb-making and the technology is close to being ready for widespread use.” The software necessary for this “detective” work, however is still being tested.
