Airport eases liquid restrictions for hand luggage Edinburgh Airport has ditched a rule requiring travellers to carry liquids under 100ml when going through security. It becomes the first airport in Scotland to lift the policy, introduced in 2006 in response to a foiled terrorist plot to detonate liquid explosives on transatlantic flights. From Monday, July 7, passengers departing on flights from Edinburgh will be allowed to carry liquid containers up to two litres in their hand luggage. In April Edinburgh Airport announced liquids and electrical items no longer had to be removed from bags, after purchasing eight new scanners costing £24m.
