Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sent ripples through the traveling public when she said earlier this week that changes might be afoot when it comes to the TSA’s current liquid limits.

"We're looking at our scanners, what we have put in place in TSA, multi-layered screening process that allows us to change some of how we do security and screening so it still is safe." Noem didn't indicate when the updated policy announcement might be made.

Tiny toiletries stuffed into one-quart plastic bags have long been a way of life for frequent flyers who carry their suitcases onboard. That could be the next security screening measure to change, suggests DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
