CT scanners that will let liquids and laptops stay in your bag are due from 2028, with all 19 departure lanes converted by summer 2029. Until then the 100 ml rule applies everywhere.
Medicines, baby food and duty-free in sealed bags are exempt from the 100 ml limit. Rules vary by airport, so check your return and connecting airports too.
