The Aviation Security Service is applying
additional security measures designed for passenger safety.
All airlines with flights into and out of the United
States of America are affected. This also applies to
passengers who may be going on to a United Kingdom
airport.
Effective immediately, passengers cannot carry
liquids and gels on to the aircraft. This includes beverages
(including duty free purchases), shampoos, suntan lotions,
creams, toothpastes, hair gels and other items of a similar
consistency.
Excluded from the measures are baby formula
or juice if a baby or small child is travelling,
prescription medicine with a name that matches the name on
the passenger's ticket and insulin and other
non-prescription medicines. All passenger footwear will also
be screened prior to
departure.
