Liquids rule could be the next U.S. airport security screening change, DHS Secretary suggests
The liquid rule for carry-on bags could be the next airport security measure to be overhauled.
Kristi Noem, U.S. Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, hinted at a possible policy change on Wednesday at the Hill Nation Summit hosted by The Hill and NewsNation in Washington.
'But I will tell you — I mean the liquids — I'm questioning. So that may be the next big announcement is what size your liquids need to be,' Noem told NewsNation's host Blake Burman.
Noem's comments came shortly after DHS rolled back a rule in place for nearly two decades requiring travelers to remove their shoes at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints. The DHS oversees the TSA, which was established after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
The TSA's 3-1-1 liquids rule — which requires that liquids in carry-on luggage be limited to 3.4 ounces or less and stored in a single, one-quart, resealable plastic bag — was introduced in September 2006. The rule was established shortly after a terrorist plot to detonate liquid explosives on transatlantic flights was foiled by British police, according to an official TSA timeline.
Larger quantities of liquids, gels and aerosols are permitted in checked luggage.
Noem spoke more broadly about streamlining the airport screening experience for U.S. travelers.
'Hopefully the future of an airport, where I'm looking to go, is that you walk in the door with your carry-on suitcase, you walk through a scanner and go right to your flight,' Noem said. 'It takes you one minute.'
Noem said DHS is talking with various companies about technology that could help achieve that goal, adding that travelers will see pilot programs at a few airports before such measures would be implemented widely.
The secretary added that the multi-layered security screening system allows for changes. 'It is still a process that is protecting people who are traveling on our airlines, but it has to make sense,' she said. 'It has to actually do something to make you safer,' Noem said, followed by a dig at the Biden administration.
TSA and DHS did not immediately respond to CNN's request for more details about possible policy changes.

Tesla Inc: Analysts Update Target Forecasts
Tesla Inc. (TSLA) (TSLA:CA) Bank of America (BofA) has increased its 12-month price target on Tesla Inc. from $305 to $341, reflecting a more optimistic outlook for the electric vehicle maker's potential. Despite the raised target, BofA has maintained its 'Neutral' rating, signaling that while the bank acknowledges improving fundamentals or external conditions (such as macro trends, cost efficiencies, or AI/data center tailwinds), it believes the stock is fairly valued at current levels. The 'Neutral' stance suggests a balanced view of upside and downside risks amid ongoing concerns like increased competition, regulatory uncertainty, and potential volatility around deliveries and margins. Cantor Fitzgerald has reiterated its 'Overweight' rating on Tesla and maintained its 12 month price target of $355 per share, indicating continued confidence in Tesla's growth trajectory and long-term value. The Overweight rating implies that Cantor expects Tesla to outperform the broader market and sector average. Cantor likely sees strength in Tesla's expanding product pipeline, leadership in EV technology, and potential upside from its AI and robotics ventures—such as Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Optimus—justifying a higher valuation multiple. Stock Forecast & Analysis Tesla's consensus analyst rating is a 'Hold', reflecting a mixed sentiment on the stock. The average 12-month price target for Tesla stands at approximately $300 per share, suggesting the stock is currently trading over over its perceived valuation models. The consensus target reflects analyst expectations factoring in the company's fundamentals, competitive environment, and broader macroeconomic conditions. Key contributors to this Hold consensus include: Concerns over valuation: Tesla trades at a premium relative to traditional automakers, and many analysts believe the stock price already reflects aggressive growth assumptions. Competition and market saturation: Analysts are watching how Tesla will fare as legacy automakers and new EV startups increase competition, especially in core markets like the U.S., China, and Europe. Margin pressures: Ongoing price cuts, high R&D spending on AI and robotics, and ramp-up costs for new models or facilities could weigh on margins, limiting near-term earnings growth. Catalysts for future upside: Some analysts remain optimistic about long-term catalysts including Tesla's progress in Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, expansion into energy storage, potential monetization of AI-related assets, and new vehicle platforms.
