Air travelers in the US are reportedly set for some relief with changes coming to the restrictions on the size of liquids passing through aviation security. Several media publications reported this week that several selected items will be allowed to be taken through the check, regardless of their size. This comes amid criticism of the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) post 9/11 rules, which implemented restrictions on amount of liquids that could be carried in the cabin.
According to Simpleflying.com and Union Rayo, TSA is easing these restrictions and passengers can carry full-size liquid items in the carry-on luggage.

Several media outlets have previously speculated that these changes could be implemented by the TSA, which would see the repeal on the 3-1-1 rule that requires liquids to be filled in small bottles not exceeding 100 ml and not totaling more than 1L.
What Does 3-1-1 Rule State?
The TSA 3-1-1 rule restricts the amount of liquids, gels, creams, pastes, and aerosols that a passenger can carry in their carry-on bags when flying. Here's a breakdown of the rule:
Container size: One can bring containers that hold no more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) each.
Bag limit: All these containers must fit into a single quart-sized, clear, resealable plastic bag (such as a Ziploc).
One bag per passenger: Each traveler is allowed only one quart-sized bag for liquids.

Exemptions included:
Medications: Liquid medications are allowed in larger quantities, but they must be declared at the checkpoint.
Infant foods: Breast milk, formula, and juice can exceed the 3.4-ounce limit but must be separated from other liquids for screening.
Duty-free items: Liquids purchased duty-free can be carried on board if they are in secure, tamper-evident bags.
The rule did not apply to checked luggage, and some solid items, like solid deodorant or powders, are not restricted by the 3-1-1 rule.
