    THE DEPARTMENT of Transportation and Communications (DoTC) has banned commuters from bringing liquids aboard overhead passenger rail systems in Metro Manila.

    Spokesman Thompson Lantion told INQ7 in a phone interview that canned sodas, sealed bottled water, hair gel and shampoo may not be brought on board trains of the Light Rail Transit and the Metro Rail Transit.

    He said liquid bombs could be disguised this way, hence the ban.

    Similar security measures will also be implemented at seaports, airports, and provincial railways, Lantion said.

    The ban was implemented after a plot to bomb planes that was to have made use of liquid explosives, was uncovered by authorities in London last week, the spokesman said.

    British and Pakistani authorities have arrested as many as 41 people in connection with the alleged plot to detonate disguised liquid explosives aboard as many as 10 planes
