Finally! You Can Bring a Gallon of Water Through TSA… Just in Time for Your 2040 Vacation

Finally! You Can Bring a Gallon of Water Through TSA… Just in Time for Your 2040 Vacation

For the past two decades, seasoned travelers have become all too familiar with the TSA’s notorious three-ounce liquid rule—a restriction that has sparked frustration, creativity in packing, and an entire industry of travel-sized toiletries. But, there’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon for those who long to bring a full-sized bottle of shampoo or a generous supply of their favorite beverage through airport security. Yes, the TSA is finally evolving with the times, and the liquid limit is set to undergo a monumental change.

Enter the new era of airport security: advanced scanners that could make the hassle of measuring out three ounces of liquid a thing of the past. These futuristic machines, utilizing “Computed Tomography” (CT) technology, promise to revolutionize the way liquids are screened at airports. Unlike the current x-ray systems, which often struggle to differentiate between harmless liquids and potential threats, CT scanners provide a detailed 3D image that allows security personnel to analyze the contents of your luggage with remarkable precision. This means travelers will soon be able to carry as much liquid as they need—up to a whopping two liters or nearly 68 ounces—without worrying about surrendering their precious bottles at the checkpoint.

But, as with all good news, there’s a catch. While the prospect of breezing through security with your favorite full-sized sunscreen is enticing, the reality of when this will become widespread is a bit more sobering. The TSA has embarked on a gradual roll-out of these advanced scanners, and they’re moving at a pace that can only be described as glacial. With approximately 2,000 screening lanes across 430 airports in the United States, the agency has a mammoth task ahead.

The timeline for this nationwide upgrade? Brace yourself: the TSA estimates that it could take until 2040 to fully implement these scanners in every airport. That’s right—by the time you’re casually tossing a 68-ounce bottle of shampoo into your carry-on without a second thought, we could be nearly two decades into the future.

Of course, there’s a silver lining for those who frequent larger airports like Denver International Airport (DIA). Major hubs with higher passenger volumes are likely to be prioritized in this slow roll-out, meaning that travelers passing through DIA might see these changes sooner rather than later. But even with this optimistic outlook, it could still be up to 16 years before the majority of travelers can take advantage of the new rules.

In the meantime, we’ll continue to meticulously measure our liquids, decant our favorite toiletries into tiny bottles, and dream of the day when packing for a flight doesn’t feel like an exercise in minimalism. Until then, patience and a well-organized quart-sized bag will remain essential travel companions.
