Liquid Limits Will Change at Denver International Airport, Here’s When
If you have been to Denver International Airport for the past 20 years, you know that there is a limit to how big of a container of liquid you can bring on a plane to or from Colorado.
Have you ever wondered why? I have not until recently. The rule was created in 2006 to prevent liquid explosives.
Liquids, gels, and aerosol containers can not be larger than 3.4 ounces. However, this policy that has been put in place for nearly 20 years might be going away thanks to new technology.
We All Forget Sometimes at Denver International Airport
I flew out of Denver International Airport. I pride myself on being very efficient when I am approaching the security checkpoint. I always ensure my laptop is in a different container, my shoes are off, and my pockets are always empty and ready to go.
I watched my backpack go through the scanner and then get pushed off to the side. A TSA agent looked through it, took out a sealed sugar-free Red Bull, and threw it away.
I forgot it was in there. I was a tad embarrassed. I was more annoyed that I basically threw away three bucks.
Liquid Policy Could Change in Colorado Soon
Some airports have started upgrading their scanners. These new scanners would allow travelers to have containers that are up to two liters.
Want to bring a two-liter of Diet Coca-Cola? Knock yourself out.
This sounds great and will make traveling easier. However, these scanners are slowly being rolled out. Experts predict that all airports and scanners will be upgraded by 2040.
That is a long time from now, but the process has officially begun.
