The European Commission has imposed rules on hand baggage allowed on civil airplanes that allow toiletries and perfumes on board, but only in containers of 100ml or less, carried in a separate plastic bag. These rules follow the security clampdown sparked by the arrests of alleged Islamic terrorists who wanted to make bombs from commonly available liquids and explode them on planes; effective bombs need more than 100ml in liquids. The new EU regulation also allows passengers to buy toiletries and perfumes after clearing airport security, but insists precautions are taken to prevent tampering until after a flight has finished.
