This article tells a new about that in this year, in US airports you can takeaway alchol.
While Europe tries to clamp down on sozzled air passengers, lawmakers in the US state of Missouri have approved a bill that would allow the state’s airports to sell takeaway booze to holidaymakers. What could possibly go wrong?
Supporters claim the new legislation would encourage more business at airports and increase passenger satisfaction, especially for those in need of some Dutch courage before flying. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
If approved, it would allow holidaymakers to drink alcohol as they wander around the terminals. Passengers would even be allowed to quaff booze at the gate, though they would not be able to take drinks onto the aircraft with them.
While only bars located beyond security would be allowed to sell alcohol-to-go, critics are concerned that the new law could encourage drunkenness at airports and on flights.
Shannon Sumrall, a spokeswoman for Nashville International Airport,told USA Today that there had been no evidence of an increase in drunkenness since the airport started selling takeaway alcohol in 2014.
Methods of preventing people from drinking duty-free alcohol on planes are being considered, while Jet2.com has taken the step of banning alcohol from its early morning flights.
Here you have my opinion about this post
In my opinion, this can go wrong beacause you don't know if you're going to be safe at the airport, If there may be a problem during the flight. Nowadays the airports are very guarded, but yes it is true that the people skip the norms. In theory low-grade alcohol is sold and it would be small but that if not controlled well there may be a big problem. In the United States they always want to go ahead of the rest of the world, that's not bad, but you have to know how to do it well and think about everything and everyone.
