(November 26, 2008 - The Salt Lake Tribune) --The Transportation Security Administration now permits passengers to board airplanes with large bottles of medically necessary liquids that exceed the agency's 3-ounce limit.

But there's a catch.

The catch is that passengers -- no matter how experienced with TSA security lines and procedures -- must go through specially marked family lanes equipped with scanners able to detect liquid explosives.

"It can delay your screening process if you have those liquids. But, on the other hand, it keeps you from having to put those items into checked baggage, as you had to before," said Dwayne Baird, TSA Salt Lake City spokesman, on Tuesday.

TSA rolled out the new procedure at Salt Lake City International Airport on Thursday - one week ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, when, according to the Air Transport Association of America, planes are expected to be close to 90 percent full despite a projected 10 percent decrease in passenger numbers. read more »
