TSA will allow some passengers to bring water bottles through airport security
Key Points:
- The TSA is testing a program allowing some PreCheck travelers to bring bottled water through security checkpoints using new 3-D CT scanners that can differentiate water from other liquids.
- The specific airports for the pilot program have not been disclosed, but it may be implemented in the coming months if approved.
- Despite the new technology, the TSA has not changed its 3-1-1 liquids rule, which limits carry-on liquids to 3.4 ounces or less.
- This development aims to reduce the inconvenience of dumping water bottles before security for eligible travelers.
