When travelling with e-cigarettes they should not be placed in your hold (checked-in) luggage, they should always travel with you.
Can I opt out of the security scanner?
Yes, security scanners are used to screen passengers at Liverpool John Lennon Airport. This is to ensure no prohibited items are taken onboard an aircraft or into the airport. You can opt out of using the security scanner however this will lead to enhanced search which may make your security experience longer.
