The UK is allowing toothpaste again. The TSA currently bans this (according to tsa.gov). As my toothbrush, toothpaste, and contact solution are the only reason I'm currently checking a bag, I hope the TSA follows the UK's lead. After all, the plot originated in the UK in the first place.
Still no word on why I can bring thermite on board an airplane but not toothpaste!

So what changes that the UK government is making is it that requires TSA to make a corresponding change?
