The International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air, most recent version, is the source of the information that follows. Only personal usage is allowed for the risky objects that are allowed to be transported.

**Transporting Liquids in a Handbag:**

Please be aware that liquids (including aerosols and gels) cannot be carried past the passenger screening point in hand luggage in containers bigger than 100ml according to current UK aviation security requirements.

Everything has to fit into one clear, reseal able plastic bag that is no bigger than 20 × 20 cm (8 x 8 in) and has a maximum capacity of one litre (around one quart).

The bag ought to be able to close all the way so that it fits in your hand luggage.

The liquids bag has to be removed from your hand luggage so that it may be inspected independently.*

Aerosols cannot be used on board, although they are permitted to be brought into the cabin.

**Liquid Item screening in the UK:**
