Cork and Dublin airports set to scrap 100ml liquid rule leading to shorter queues

  1. Only took 20 years of misguided belief to come to some sense.

    Was in the airport the other morning and they took a half used can of deodorant off me because it was 150ml capacity rather than the specified 100ml.

    BUT I could have brought 10*100ml cannisters with me if I’d preferred. But not 1 that was 15ml.

    Bizarre rules.

    *Also I get it that it was my fault not to know the rule correctly/check the size of the cannister beforehand/knowingly bring an oversized product! Also my toothpaste was 125ml in size but they never bothered checking that. So I blew up the plane with my extra toothpaste to get back at them for taking my lynx (Africa)!

  2. I never realised you could only have one bag of toiletries going through. Lady in Dublin made me bin 3 or 4 small liquid products and squeezed everything into one bag. Coming back through USA and I had two bags, not a problem. So annoying! Glad this rule is gone

  3. I flew through SFO earlier in the year, whatever bag scanners they have mean you do not have to take ANYTHING out of your hand luggage. They just scan the bag, that’s it. It’s such a game changer.

  4. I can remember reading about this technology being trialed in Dublin maybe as long as over a decade ago. Great to see it finally arrive.

  5. This probably won’t change queues. People at airports act like it’s their first time ever at an airport and are hearing about the rules and processes for the first time.
