    In Europe fluid restrictions have been lifted afaik. There’s new scanners where liquids don’t have to separated and you don’t need to take electronics out of your suitcase. I haven’t been on a plane since they came in but my girlfriend said that the time to get through security dropped from a couple hours to about half an hour last time she flew.

      No. It’s complicated. There are new scanners, which are supposed to detect and identify fluids, and we’re supposed to lead to a removal of the fluid restrictions. But now there’s claims they are not good as expected.

      So yeah, new scanners, but sometimes with restrictions in place and sometimes not. And if the whole airport (or just the security check point you end up at) doesn’t have the new scanner… then of course the restriction is definitely in place.

      Source: airport nearby has a mix of old and new scanners.
