February 28, 2007
On Thursday, South Korea and Japan will expand restrictions on carrying liquids on board international flights to thwart terrorist attacks. Passengers on all international flights from South Korea, including transit flights, will only be allowed to bring in liquids, gels and aerosol items in containers no larger than 100 milliliters, or 3.38 ounces, which must be placed in transparent plastic bags, the Ministry of Construction and Transportation said Monday. The same restrictions will go into effect for all flights from Japan, the country’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said.
