It’s time to end the 3.4-ounce rule—tell TSA to modernize liquid restrictions now
The Issue
For nearly two decades, travelers in the U.S. have had to toss perfectly harmless items—water bottles, yogurt cups, baby formula, even jam—because they exceeded TSA’s strict 3.4-ounce liquid limit.
It’s a rule born from a real threat in 2006. But the world—and the technology—has changed.
Now, even Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says it’s time to revisit the rule. “I’m questioning everything TSA does,” she said this week, hinting that the liquid restrictions could be next to go. We agree—and we’re ready for action.
We’re calling on the Department of Homeland Security and the TSA to finally end the 3.4-ounce rule and implement modern screening technology at all major U.S. airports.
Travelers deserve efficiency and safety—not pointless rules that waste time, money, and resources.
Stop making us throw away our water bottles. Catch up to the rest of the world.
