* All liquids, gels and aerosols such as water, toothpaste, hair gel, spray etc must be contained in individual containers no greater than 100 ml in capacity. They should be packed in one single transparent and re-sealable plastic bag with maximum capacity not more than one litre.
* Passengers are requested to show the plastic bag separately from other carry-on baggage at the security checkpoint.
* The minimum necessary amount of liquid medicine, baby milk / food and other special dietary products may be carried on board by declaring the goods to the security agent. Please be prepared to present the medicine prescription upon request by the agent."
Actually this is better than what was there
this month. NO water/liquids/gels permitted in Japan airports or in Philippines airports past security. They had signs saying NO liquids at the x ray you go into after getting off the plane into NRT. Secondary gate search for the contraban liquids in NRT at the jetway. Although we all know it to be a farce, it has unfortunately caught on.
BTW, it seems that everyone thinks it was the US that began the water madness.... completely forgetting the Brits role in it all
