This isn't the case at all airports - London City and Schiphol (airports I use a lot) seem to have the new type of scanners working, but I always personally ensure that liquids are in a clear plastic bag, in the right sized containers that can either be left in my main bag, or taken out depending on what is needed. 

@Emmia as of today there is NO leaving it in your hand baggage in the UK or EU even if a new scanner is in place, please read the article that I and @SiliconChip posted the link for.

I'm stating my experience based on recent travel, I can remove liquids as they are bagged and in the right sized containers - security are usually pretty active in telling travellers what they need to do. 

If the OP /anyone goes prepared to remove, then no problem.

I'm not bothering with your article. Thanks.

Fair enough, but for everyone it's now bag it and remove it with the old limits.

No exceptions, no discretion and no arguing within the UK and EU.

@Emmia your recent experience is now irrelevant.

I told people to stick to 100mls and bag, what exactly is wrong with that advice?

Most airports in the UK and EU had never introduced the new scanners so it was always a bit pot luck and the need to bag never went away.

The only practical difference is whether the bag could go through inside your hand luggage or not, having to unzip the bag to pop it out, Vs leaving it in isn't exactly the end of the world.

@Emmia just read the BBC article and the reasons will become clear for the resumption of limits.

But that's not helpful when it's been announced today that all airports in the EU have to follow what's already happened at UK airports and revert to liquids out of baggage.

The 100ml liquid rule is back in all UK and EU airports - but why?

We flew from Birmingham after they reverted to the 100ml rule.  There was on requirement to take the bottles out of hand luggage, and this is their guidance -

• Only liquids, pastes and gels in containers up to 100ml can be carried in hand luggage – anything larger needs to be in checked in luggage.

• No liquids above this size.

• Anything above the 100ml will be removed and destroyed.

• There is no limit on the amount of under 100mls containers that can be carried.

• Containers that can carry more than a 100ml, such as insulated bottles, are permitted but need to be completely empty.

• Do not put your liquids, pastes and gels into plastic bags (please leave them loose in hand luggage).

• Do not take them out of your hand luggage when you're in the security search area.

 It was always foolish to presume larger limits would actually be rolled out. Sorry, as someone who travels a lot I've always stuck to the 100mls limits with up to 10 bottles. I consider lipstick/lip balm / mascara to be a liquid (not all do).

Unless your experience was yesterday (1st Sept 2024), it's irrelevant. 
There was a change yesterday 1/9/2024 that people need to read and understand. 

Personally, rather than asking random strangers on t'interweb, I'd check the website of the airport I'm flying from and then gov.uk.
Some of the posts here are out of date and some are irrelevant.

Polly I have just read a similar article to the one  posted. For travellers who have always complied with the containers of 100ml and the plastic bag volume of 1 litre maximum and never moved to larger sizes (irrespective of what the airport scanners allowed), nothing has actually changed. To suggest otherwise is disingenuous.

Perhaps (given your clearly expert knowledge) you could explain how a traveller who uses 100ml bottles (or less) and only ever took liquids in these sizes that would fit in the plastic bag in their hand luggage would be affected by the changes to the rules that applied in the EU from yesterday?

I think (based on what I've read) that liquids of the 100ml size (or less) can also remain inside the cabin baggage too during screening, but that may be on an airport by airport basis, so I'd follow whatever guidance airport security provides on whether they want liquids in, or out of cabin baggage.

The UK reverted to the 100ml rule in June, so my experience of flying out of the UK after then was relevant to the question asked.

Whoops.
I appear to have stepped on some toes.
Please don't get sarky with me.

I suggest you re-read my post. 
There is nothing inaccurate or disingenuous there. 

The truth is - there have been changes wef 1/9/2024 and people need to understand what those changes are.
Not go on what the rules were pre that date.
The changes may - or may not - affect how people carry liquids through airports. 

I'm glad you suggest going by individual airport rules. It's what I said.
