The TSA will begin deploying handheld “sniffers” this summer to test carry-on liquids at US airports:
The handheld machines will not ease restrictions that limit passengers to carrying small containers of liquids and gels on board aircraft, TSA spokeswoman Ellen Howe said. They will primarily check bottles holding medicines, baby formula and other items that passengers can carry on board in unlimited quantities.
“It may not necessarily mean any specific benefit to the traveling public other than enhanced security,” Howe said. - USA TODAY
