You no longer have to remove liquids or electronic devices from your hand luggage when you travel through Palma airport. As a result of new ground-breaking technology which has been installed at Palma airport you can now keep everything in your hand-luggage.
The move has been welcomed by airline bosses who say that this should reduce waiting times at immigration points at the airport.
British airports are already testing similar technology which will also mean that liquids can stay in your luggage once it is introduced. Airlines are also planning the end of "aeroplane mode" on mobile phones and soon you will be able to leave your phone switched on.

Apparently not true. Just tried leaving my stuff in my hand luggage and they decided to try and punish me by unpacking it all for me there on the belt. I just watched bemused as a huge queue grew behind me and then just spent less money in the departure area.
Steve PickeringIf you're British.
The liquids scanners are a great idea. As for phone use in flight, forget it. People will soon be moaning about the roaming charges for using phones in flight not being explained to them. Plus. "HELLO I'M ON A PLANE. YES A PLANE" will soon be being shouted across the aisles
Palma airport (nine times out of ten) already had commendably fast security screening compared to British airports. For example, only one London Airport (London City) currently has similar scanning equipment, and these "no liquid removal" scanners won't be in place across all UK airports until 2024.
I believe this is happening worldwide, not just at PMI and not just for British flights.
Good news. Well done the Technical Company for installing this much apreciated equipment. Removing some of the misery at Airports.
