US EditionLiquids Rule Could Be the Next Airport Security Screening Change, DHS Secretary Suggests
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Homeland Security is reviewing the TSA's 3.4-ounce liquid limit with plans for pilot programs using new screening technology to improve efficiency while maintaining security.
- On July 16, 2025, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem hinted at a possible change to the longstanding TSA liquids rule for carry-on bags during a summit in Washington, D.C.
- This announcement comes shortly after DHS discontinued a policy, in place for almost two decades, that required travelers to take off their shoes during security checks—a measure originally introduced following the 2006 attempt by the "shoe bomber" to detonate explosives on a flight.
- Noem emphasized a future vision where passengers walk through scanners with carry-on bags and proceed directly to flights, supported by TSA’s layered security and new technologies.
- She emphasized that any measures must genuinely enhance passenger safety and mentioned that TSA is collaborating with various companies to develop technologies that will allow for a more efficient screening experience.
- These potential changes aim to improve security and speed, though Noem offered no timeline, and policy updates will be announced through official channels when ready.
