On this Tuesday, March 19, the naturopath, who is going to spend three weeks of vacation in Uzbekistan, displays a surprised expression before placing his hiking backpack in a bin so that it passes under one of the new 3D scanners installed by Aéroports de Paris (ADP). These machines exempt travelers from removing electronic equipment and liquids from their luggage, as is customary. The 100 ml rule, the maximum authorized capacity, remains in force after its introduction in 2006. “It’s great. We save time and it’s less complicated,” enthuses Thomas, after having passed in around ten seconds.
