"Experts from the International Civil Aviation Organization will examine the danger of liquid explosives in airplanes in a bid to improve aviation security. A panel of experts will discuss the issue during its September 11-15 meeting at ICAO headquarters in Montreal, the agency said a week after British authorities foiled an alleged plot to bomb US-bound aircraft with liquid explosives. 'In a unanimous decision, the (ICAO) Council agreed that the Panel should fully assess the danger associated with liquid explosives and report as quickly as possible on practical and sustainable recommendations to further improve the security of civil aviation,' said Council President Roberto Kobeh Gonzalez said in a statement."
