VERBATIM: The new scanners will allow passengers to take 70 ounces of liquid in their hand luggage — rather than the current paltry 3.5 ounces.

The restrictions were introduced around the world in 2006 following a foiled terror plot to blow up planes flying from London to the U.S. with homemade liquid bombs.
