Heathrow Airport recently scrapped the 100ml liquid container limit for passengers, while the Liberal Democrats proposed the issuance of "war bonds" to raise funds for the UK's defense.

Heathrow completed the rollout of new high-tech CT scanners, allowing passengers to carry liquids in containers up to two liters in their bags while going through security, according to the BBC. Electronics, such as laptops, can also remain in luggage during screening, and the use of clear plastic bags for liquids is no longer required. Heathrow claimed to be the largest airport in the world to have fully implemented the new technology across all terminals. However, Gatwick and Edinburgh airports were among the first in the UK to adopt the scanners.

Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats called on the government to issue "war bonds" to bolster the military, the BBC reported. The party suggested the scheme could raise up to £20 billion. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey stated that the bonds would "give ordinary people the opportunity to contribute to Britain's security." The proposed bonds would allow members of the public to loan money to the government for a period of two to three years, with interest rates matching standard government bonds. A government spokesperson said that "new debt instruments" were under review but had to represent "value for money."
