(Miami, FL) — Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is trying to make your travel experience easier. She says the agency is evaluating the size of liquids in carry-on bags, now that travelers can leave their shoes on during airport screenings.
Enhanced technology has already worked well in the United Kingdom and can differentiate between drinks and chemical explosives, but because the TSA hasn’t budgeted for the scanning technology or trained employees, don’t anticipate the change until 2027, at the earliest.
Noem says the technology is there to allow us to just walk straight through a scanner to our gates – without stopping.
