All in all I think that the no liquids/gels ban was so over-inclusive at first to be preventative, has eased a teeny bit to permit small volumes of stuff, and will continue to ease a bit over time. I wonder if it will ever completely go away, however.

Slightly OT, I don't agree with those that feel that this over-reaction was unnecessary; while I hate having to "fly dry" these days in order to take my roll-a-board onboard, I make due. If TSA and DHS feel that there is a need to take protective measures for a time, so be it. I'd rather pi$$ and moan a little now, rather then wonder later why these agencies didn't act cautiously after a tragedy occurs....just my 2 cents IMHO (pleez don't flame me )
