The European Parliament has adopted a resolution called for repealing the current regulation banning liquids in carry on baggage on planes. They are not convinced that the gains from this legislation are bigger than the disadvantages.
With regard to the liquids regulation, MEPs argue that it causes increased costs to airports and operators as well as to passengers resulting from the confiscation of private property. MEPs also recognise the "substantial inconvenience and disruption" caused to passengers, especially transit passengers. Hear, hear!
The resolution is not on the web yet, but a press release can be fount on the European Parliament's web site.
IMHO standing up for citizens' rights in this way is the best method for increasing the public support for the European institutions.
The picture has nothing to do with the story. It's just there to make you thirsty.
