European airports will keep restrictions on liquids carried onto aircraft for another three years because the rollout of scanning technology is behind schedule, EU nations have agreed.

The 27 European Union nations have reached agreement to maintain the restrictions on carry-on liquids until April 2013, a European Council document showed Wednesday.

Under the agreement “all airports must have the capacity to screen those products by April 29, 2013.” - AFP via Vancouver Sun

Never fear; the US will help the Euros develop another equally irritating jump-through hoop by 2013.
