The CT scanners cover the central security checkpoints in all terminals. Thermos flasks must be empty, and food, creams or jams may still be checked by hand, so smaller containers are quicker.
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.
