Beginning tomorrow, travelers will be allowed to bring limited liquids on domestic and international flights departing from the U.S. According to the New York Times, the rules “allow travelers to carry liquids, gels or aerosols in containers of 3 ounces or less, as long as they all fit into a clear 1-quart plastic bag that can be screened at the security checkpoint. Drinks and other items purchased in the secure part of the airport, beyond the checkpoint, will also be allowed onto planes.” See? Flying isn’t a pain. With a simple clear 1-quart bag, some 3-ounce containers and a beverage purchased near the gate, the good times are back!
