TSA Considers Changes To Security Checkpoints

The Department of Homeland Security is reviewing the current 3.4-ounce limit on liquids in carry-on bags.

The TSA is working to make the security process as seamless as possible while announcing upcoming changes.

The agency recently removed the rule that required fliers to take off their shoes at the security checkpoint screening.

Now, officials are planning to change another familiar rule that involves the restrictions on carrying liquids through security.

The Department of Homeland Security is reviewing the current 3.4-ounce limit on liquids in carry-on bags. A date for change has not been announced nor the new possible limit.

In addition, a new facial recognition technology system could allow passengers to go through security without speaking to TSA agents.

Future checkpoints will feature automatic doors that open after scanning your face and boarding pass. and within the next year, some airports will test systems that won’t require removing electronics from bags.

The TSA’s end goal is to create a system where passengers can walk through checkpoints without stopping or only pausing briefly.
