Heathrow Airport Just Removed This Outdated Rule-Here's How It Will Make Security Faster

"Last week, Heathrow Airport announced that after nearly 20 years it has ended the rule requiring travelers to remove toiletries and electronics from their luggage while going through security. In addition, passengers no longer must adhere to the strict 100ml rule for liquids, and can instead pack containers with up to two liters of product inside-a change that comes thanks to the rollout of impressive new security technology at the airport."

"As far as spacious travel backpacks go, this laptop pack from Matein is one of the best options at Amazon with more than 92,400 five-star ratings to its name and more than 10,000 purchased in the last month. These credentials, along with its multitude of pockets and well-constructed design, make it a great choice for international travel-and now is the time to shop considering it's 45 percent off."

Heathrow Airport ended the long-standing rule requiring travelers to remove toiletries and electronics from carry-on luggage at security. The airport also relaxed the 100ml restriction, allowing containers up to two liters because of newly installed advanced security screening technology. Most airports worldwide still enforce the older toiletry and liquid packing requirements. Travelers should therefore carry a well-organized personal item to speed security checks and avoid delays. Amazon lists multiple affordable personal-item options designed with ample pockets and compartments, starting at $19. Popular choices highlighted include the Matein Travel Laptop Backpack and larger-capacity travel backpacks for extra packing space.
