The mobile liquid is used in the design of the back of the mobile phone case to create a dynamic "liquid quicksand mobile phone case", which has quietly become popular in the circle of friends because of its fashion and beauty. However, the Beijing Youth Daily reporter visited and found that there are some "troubles" hidden in this kind of mobile phone case. Recently, Ms. Wang told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that when she took a flight from Chengdu to Beijing for security check, the staff asked to check her liquid quicksand mobile phone case, but what puzzled Ms. Wang was, "I carried it with me when I took flights in Beijing, Shenzhen, Anshan and other places."
Is it necessary to check the mobile phone case with liquid quicksand? The reporter of Beiqing Daily called the security inspection department of many airports and learned that because the liquid in the mobile phone case is in a sealed state, local security inspections will be conducted on the spot according to the relevant regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration. The reporter of Beiqing Daily called the Civil Aviation Administration of China as a passenger to inquire about this matter. The staff said that in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, passengers are advised not to carry items such as mobile phone cases and iPad cases with them when taking flights, and also be careful not to spill them when checking.
Mobile phone case carrying quicksand
Be checked by the airport
A few months ago, Ms. Wang bought a "liquid quicksand mobile phone case" from the Internet for about 500 yuan. The back of the mobile phone case is about 1 cm thick, and it is filled with liquid and decorations. As the liquid shakes, the decorations will fluctuate with it. But I don’t think this online celebrity mobile phone case has caused her some "troubles" recently.
Recently, Ms. Wang and her family ended their trip and took a flight from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport to fly back to Beijing. "During the security check, I took out my mobile phone with liquid quicksand mobile phone case and put it next to the computer. After passing the security check machine, the staff picked up my mobile phone and looked at it alone, and then told me that the mobile phone case should be checked separately."
Ms. Wang asked the staff why she wanted to check the mobile phone case. The other party said, "There is unknown liquid in the mobile phone case." Ms. Wang explained that her quicksand mobile phone case is produced by regular manufacturers and will not be easily damaged and liquid will not leak out. However, the staff said that they had done relevant tests, and (liquid quicksand mobile phone case) could not be taken on the plane. Because there was no suitcase to be checked, Ms. Wang finally chose to send her mobile phone case back to Beijing by express delivery.
"Why only Chengdu needs to be checked?" Ms. Wang is puzzled. She said that when she took the flight in Beijing, Shenzhen, Anshan and other places, she also carried the liquid quicksand mobile phone case, but she was not required to check it. "Isn’t the management regulations of airports in different places different?" Ms. Wang raised questions. In addition, she pointed out that she didn’t know about the problem that quicksand mobile phone case may need to be checked on the flight when purchasing the product.
Sellers sell quicksand products
The consignment problem was evaded.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily randomly searched on the online shopping platform and found that many online shop merchants are selling mobile phone cases, iPad cases and satchels with liquid quicksand. Among them, quicksand mobile phone case is the best seller, and the price ranges from 19.9 yuan to several hundred yuan.
When introducing the mobile phone case of liquid quicksand, many merchants said that the product uses "high-strength back cover panel" which can be "leak-proof". There are also many merchants who mentioned in the "Precautions for Use" that problems such as slow movement and jamming of liquid bubbles and quicksand in the mobile phone case are "normal phenomena" and "will not cause oil leakage, so you can use it with confidence". The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that most merchants did not remind the information such as whether the product can be brought on the plane and whether it needs to be checked.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily randomly asked a number of merchants what the liquid used in this kind of mobile phone case is and whether it can be brought on the plane. Some merchants bluntly said that "there is mineral oil inside", so "you can’t take it on the plane". However, some merchants said that "there is no problem (taking the plane)." There are still many businesses who deliberately avoid this issue, saying only that they are "unclear" or "have not met buyers to reflect this problem".
However, an online shop owner told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that most of the liquid quicksand mobile phone cases currently popular on the market use water and mineral oil. "Because pure quicksand can’t make the mobile phone case have a flowing effect, this liquid will be added to the quicksand mobile phone case for the sake of beauty." However, the owner said that the mobile phone case is not completely harmless when used. "The oily liquid inside may be flammable. In addition, if some products are of poor quality or improperly used, it will lead to liquid outflow, and it may burn the skin in case of high temperature." The owner speculated that this may also be the reason why some mobile phone cases with liquid quicksand could not be taken on the plane.
Mobile phone case consignment requirements
Different airports have different interpretations.
According to the search by the reporter of Beiqing Daily, the Civil Aviation Administration of China stipulates that passengers on domestic flights in China can carry with them liquid articles (excluding alcohol) with a total amount of no more than 1 liter each time, and the excess must be delivered. Liquid articles must be opened for inspection before they can be carried.
Regarding Ms. Wang’s experience and questions, Beiqing Daily reporter called several airports, such as Capital International Airport, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport and Shenzhen Baoan International Airport.
For the mobile phone case with liquid quicksand, the staff of Capital International Airport and Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport said that the security inspection of domestic flights is strict, and if liquid articles are involved, it needs to be judged by the security inspectors on the spot to give an accurate answer.
The staff of the security department of Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport said that the quicksand mobile phone case contains liquid. "No matter whether it is water or mineral oil, it is not allowed to be taken on the plane and needs to be checked."
The security staff of Shenzhen Baoan International Airport said that the quicksand mobile phone case is different from cosmetics and other liquids. "It needs on-site inspection. If it is a small amount and can’t be taken out, it may be taken on the plane."
Regarding the fact that each airport security department has different attitudes towards the quicksand mobile phone case, Beiqing Daily reporter called the Civil Aviation Administration of China as a passenger to inquire about this matter.
The staff explained, "According to the regulations, when passengers take a flight, liquid items such as cosmetics and medicines can be carried no more than 100 ml, and the total amount can not exceed a certain amount. Other liquids such as water, toilet water, yogurt, etc. cannot be carried with you. "
However, the staff said that for the quicksand mobile phone case, because it is impossible to determine the nature of the liquid in the case from the appearance, "if it is flammable and explosive, it is dangerous, so generally speaking, the airport security department will strictly check and ask passengers to check it. However, because the mobile phone case is small, the liquid inside will not exceed 20 ml, and the sealed state will not be spilled. Some airports may think that there is no safety hazard after security inspection, which will allow passengers to carry it. However, the quicksand iPad shell and backpack shell are large in size and definitely need to be checked. "
However, the staff reminded passengers that in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, it is suggested that passengers should try not to carry items such as quicksand mobile phone cases and iPad cases with them when taking flights, and be careful not to spill them when checking in.
