Effective 01 March 2007, following enhanced aviation security rules would apply to all cabin baggages carried on all international flights departing from Japan :

* 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."

I have flown from NRT to the US twice since last November (including a trip last week) and declared my baggie at the security check at the gate and was allowed to take my liquids.

That being the case, you'd need an airside/landside delimiter which would probably have to take the form of manned barriers checking boarding cards. The Netherlands does check people out, so the passport control forms a natural barrier.

At security today I saw posters saying NO LIQUIDS to flights heading to US and/or on US carriers. So I'm confused - are they enforcing the total liquids ban or can you carry on your baggie, on a US-bound flight from NRT?

AA web site says you can carry a baggie. JAL web site says you can carry a baggie. The poster I saw at the security screen is what confused me.

For the record, the screeners here in NRT couldn't have been nicer and more polite and orderly. The controlled the passengers thru the Xray so there wasn't a huge crush after the Xray machine, so I wasn't worried about my stuff getting stolen on the other side. I wish the TSA would take training from them.
