Intelligence indicated the terror plot unfolding in Britain involved plans to use otherwise benign liquids that could be mixed inside an airplane cabin to make an explosive. As a result, the following security measures were put into place Thursday at U.S. airports: - Liquids are banned from carry-on luggage and cannot be taken through security checkpoints. That includes drinks, toothpaste, perfume, shampoo, hair gel, suntan lotion and similar items. Drinks purchased in the airport cannot be carried onto flights. - Baby formula and medications will be allowed but must be presented for inspection at security checkpoints. - All shoes must be removed and placed on an X-ray belt for screening. - Passengers traveling to the United Kingdom should contact their airline for information about any extra security measures or precautions that might be required. Laptop computers, mobile phones and iPods were among items banned on British flights.
