Just days following a move by the British, the United States has announced plans to relax security measures on liquids at air ports.

“We now know enough to say that a total ban is no longer needed from a security point of view,” said Kip Hawley, head of the Transportation Security Administration, at a news conference at Reagan National Airport.

Important details of the new policies are:

• Liquids bought in “secure” areas at air ports will be allowed on air planes.
• Products like lip gloss and hand lotion will be allowed in volumes less than three ounces.
• Travelers will be able to bring a small amount of toiletries from home. Items must fit in a quart-sized plastic bag and will be screened by security officials.
• The new policy is set to go into effect Tuesday morning.
