The chore of bagging up liquids for air travel to end by 2022 thanks to new technology
PM Boris Johnson said: “We’re set to streamline those trips with the roll-out of this ground-breaking technology – cutting down hassle for travellers and improving security measures. By making journeys through UK airports easier than ever, this new equipment will help boost the vital role our airports play in securing the UK’s position as a global hub for trade, tourism and investment.
Like many travellers, I’ve spent long periods waiting in airport security. And I know how stressful that can feel. Long queues ultimately leave passengers anxious about missing their flight. To speed things up even further, when the 3D screening technology rollout is complete, toiletries could also stay in your hand luggage. Gone will be the intrusive experience of having to empty out your bags full of shampoo, perfume and toothpaste in full view of everyone.
These new 3D security machines will also reduce plastic use by doing away with those tiny plastic bags that are currently used to squeeze toiletries into before passing through security.And indeed, the benefits of this new UK deployed technology will not only be felt by passengers in this country, but by airports in the rest of the world too.
