Asia-Pacific News In-flight terrorism fears restrict carry-on luggage Sydney - Airline passengers in Australia will have to pack carry-on luggage more carefully after new restrictions were imposed on what liquids are allowed on international flights. The changes, announced Friday and to take effect in March, follow the foiling of a plot to blow up airliners leaving Britain. The terrorism suspects allegedly planned to use liquid explosives smuggled in hand luggage to bring down passenger jets. 'As a result of vulnerabilities exposed in the UK in August with regard to liquids being carried in hand luggage onto international flights ... all international travellers, both outbound and inbound ... will need to be restricted in the carriage of liquids, aerosols and gels to 100 milliliter containers,' Transport Minister Mark Vaile told Australia's ABC Radio. 'Those containers will need to be carried in a 1-litre, clear plastic bag in hand luggage and separately screened in the way, for example, that laptop computer batteries are separately screened.' The regulations only apply to hand luggage, not checked bags carried in the hold of the aircraft. Vaile said that experience abroad showed that the extra screening did not cause excessive inconvenience or delay. © 2006 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
