While you cannot bring your own gels and liquids onto the plane, you may now purchase such items once passing through security. Items bought in the airport stores will be allowed on planes.

WASHINGTON - The government is partially lifting its ban against carrying liquids and gels onto airliners, instituted after a plot to bomb jets flying into the United States was foiled, an administration official said Monday.

Homeland Security Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the announcement had not yet been made, said that most liquids and gels that air travelers purchase in secure areas of airports will now be allowed on planes.

Nice. My personal, favourite toothpaste is not allowed but the sure to be $10 tube from the airport store is? While a concession, my conspiracy theory says that TSA and the airport stores union have colloborated on this with a 70/30 split for overcharging passengers. Mobissimo of course will sleuth this out.
