Noem hints TSA could soon ease restrictions on liquids on flights

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem implied on Wednesday that she is supporting a move for the Transportation Security Administration to roll back its limit on the amount of liquids, aerosols, and gels passengers can bring with them onto airplanes.

Noem made the comments during the inaugural Hill Nation Summit while speaking with NewsNation.

“The day I walked in the door, I started questioning everything TSA does,” Noem said. “I will tell you, I mean, the liquids [rule] I am questioning. So that may be the next big announcement is what size your liquids need to be. “We’re looking at it.”

Beginning in 2006, the TSA began mandating that carry-on luggage could include containers of 3.4 ounces or fewer, though there are exemptions for medications and food for infants.

So, essentially she knows the US is a target for terrorists, but she still supports relaxing restrictions that have kept us safe since 9/11.
