One week after announcing an end to the requirement that passengers remove their shoes when undergoing airport security screening, the Department of Homeland Security could also alter another post-9/11 mainstay of air travel – the amount of liquid ounces that people can take with them onboard commercial planes.

"The liquids I'm questioning, so that may be the next big announcement is what size your liquids need to be," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said at an event in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. "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.
