Heathrow Airport has completed the rollout of high-tech CT scanners in all terminals, allowing passengers to carry liquids in containers up to two liters in their cabin baggage. Electronics can also remain in bags during security checks. Clear plastic bags are no longer required. While Heathrow is the largest airport to implement this technology, Gatwick, Edinburgh, and Birmingham airports have already upgraded. The rule change applies only to flights departing from Heathrow, and passengers should verify restrictions at their return airports.
